What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a SOC-focused cybersecurity role where I can drive threat detection improvements, lead incident response and vulnerability remediation, and use SIEM/EDR/cloud monitoring to reduce false positives and strengthen security posture.

I’m a results-driven Cybersecurity Analyst with 5 years of experience in SOC environments, focused on threat detection, incident response, vulnerability management, endpoint security, and cloud security monitoring. I use SIEM platforms like Splunk and Microsoft Sentinel to monitor, investigate, and correlate security events—improving alert visibility and detection accuracy by up to 35%, while reducing false positives by 25% through better correlation rules and alert tuning.

I’m hands-on with CrowdStrike Falcon EDR for endpoint investigation, malware containment, host isolation, threat hunting, IOC analysis, and remediation of suspicious activity. I also lead vulnerability management using Nessus and Qualys, conducting assessments across 300+ assets and supporting remediation of 90%+ critical vulnerabilities within SLA timelines, following NIST and SANS frameworks for incident response from detection through recovery and post-incident review. In cloud and hybrid environments, I work with Microsoft Sentinel and Azure Security Center using KQL-based investigation, and I strengthen IAM through Active Directory, Azure Active Directory, MFA, PAM, and access reviews.
