What I'm looking for

I'm looking to grow in SOC operations, threat detection, incident response, endpoint security, and cyber defense through hands-on security monitoring and alert investigation.

I'm gaining hands-on SOC experience at Tmen Group, investigating alerts, analyzing logs, and working with Wazuh and Cortex XDR.

I focus on threat detection, incident investigation, endpoint security, and SIEM monitoring while continuously building practical cyber defense skills. My toolkit includes Splunk, Wireshark, Nmap, and VAPT.

Previously, I supported networking operations at Apollo Infoways, learning monitoring, troubleshooting, routing, switching, VLANs, and LAN-WAN support. I've also coordinated campus outreach as an IIT Guwahati Campus Ambassador and won a hackathon at ABS Noida.
