What I'm looking for

I'm looking to continue strengthening SOC operations, threat detection, incident response, vulnerability management, and security compliance while collaborating with cross-functional teams.

I've supported security operations at Pesofts Edtech Private Limited and Wipro, investigating threats, reducing vulnerability exposure, and improving incident response.

At Pesofts Edtech Private Limited, I reduced security incidents and breaches by 25% by implementing security policies and best practices. I also achieved a 95% alert response rate within 15 minutes through Splunk monitoring and triage.

My hands-on work includes vulnerability assessments with Nessus, network scanning with Nmap, firewall and intrusion detection configurations, and penetration-testing exercises on TryHackMe and Hack The Box.

At Wipro, I investigated phishing, ransomware, and malware attacks, produced audit-ready incident reports and remediation plans, prioritized vulnerability findings, and performed access reviews and compliance monitoring.
