What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a detection-focused team where I can build MITRE-aligned detections, automate triage and remediation with SOAR, and lead threat investigations—while deepening malware analysis and threat hunting skills.

I’m a Detection Engineer focused on building and improving threat detections that actually reduce response time. I design behavioral and rule-based detections in Splunk and drive MITRE ATT&CK–aligned strategies to strengthen organizational threat visibility.

Across my roles, I automate alert enrichment and remediation workflows using Tines (SOAR), author Detection Rule Knowledge Base (KBs), and lead end-to-end investigations into account compromises, malware, privilege escalations, and lateral movement. I validate hypotheses through log correlation and IOCs, and I keep detection rules aligned with the MITRE ATT&CK Framework.

I’m especially interested in malware analysis, threat hunting, and reverse engineering to deepen my technical understanding as adversary tradecraft evolves. I also bring practical experience with detection engineering QA and CI/CD validation using Python scripts, Jira/Confluence, and Jenkins, including unit test cases for detection rules across multiple log sources.
