What I'm looking for

I seek hands-on SOC or threat-hunting roles focused on incident response, detection engineering, and AI-driven security within collaborative, learning-focused teams.

I am a Senior SOC Analyst at HCLTech with hands-on experience in threat hunting, incident response, and SOC operations. I have investigated ransomware and phishing incidents and thrive on detection and response, treating each challenge like a puzzle to be solved.

I bring energy, creativity, and resilience to collaborative teams and continuously explore AI-aware approaches to strengthen defenses. I’ve completed coursework such as Introduction to Graph Theory (UC San Diego) and Cybersecurity Fundamentals, and I also have experience as a technical content creator alongside a B.Tech in Computer Science.
