What I'm looking for

I’m seeking an entry-level SOC Analyst L1 / Blue Team role.

At CFEES, DRDO, I engineered an offline SOC Simulation Dashboard with a 1,419-rule detection engine across 11 Windows telemetry collectors. I redesigned the rule-matching engine, cutting detection scan time by roughly 10x.

On my Windows AD SOC home lab project, I built an isolated environment with Wazuh, Sysmon, and Windows Security logs. I simulated Password Spraying and Kerberoasting, then developed and validated Wazuh/Sigma detections through threat hunting, false-positive testing, and MITRE ATT&CK mapping.

At ElevateLabs Pvt. Ltd., I performed network scanning and packet analysis, configured firewalls, and conducted phishing detection and vulnerability scanning with OpenVAS. I’m seeking an entry-level SOC Analyst L1 / Blue Team role.
