What I'm looking for

I’m looking to strengthen SOC operations with high-signal detection—SIEM/EDR tuning, threat hunting, and end-to-end incident response—while reducing false positives, improving triage time, and ensuring SLA-driven, audit-ready security outcomes.

I’m a results-driven SOC Analyst with 9 years of IT experience and 4 years in SOC operations, focused on threat detection and response. I’ve significantly reduced false positives by 30% and improved alert quality through SIEM tuning, driving a 25% decrease in incident triage time.

I’ve mitigated 50+ endpoint threats and supported the full incident response lifecycle—detection, analysis, containment, recovery, and escalation—while maintaining strong SLA adherence (98%). From Health First and Standard Chartered Bank to my earlier System Administrator roles, I bring hands-on expertise across Splunk, IBM QRadar, ArcSight, CrowdStrike, Microsoft Defender, SentinelOne, and threat intelligence to strengthen overall security operations.
