What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a security role where I can build SIEM detections, run detection engineering and SOC-style triage, and keep improving MTTD/MTTR through threat hunting and VAPT-driven remediation.

I’m a Cyber Security Analyst who builds detection workflows that turn telemetry into faster, evidence-backed triage. In my internship at Redacto.io, I led end-to-end VAPT across production and staging web assets, systematically testing IDOR, broken authentication, and insecure API endpoints with Burp Suite, Nmap, and Postman.

I also operationalized detection at scale by building and running 5+ custom Wazuh SIEM dashboards, reducing MTTD and enabling analysts to triage alerts across log sources without switching tools. I supported SOC-style incident response through daily log analysis, alert investigation, severity classification, and triage/escalation aligned to the organization’s incident response plan.

Through my projects, I push deeper into detection engineering: I built a full-stack threat detection platform that combines rule-based, heuristic, and ML-based anomaly scoring into a single explainable alert interface. I also developed a C2 Detection Lab using Suricata and Wazuh, authoring custom detection rules and correlating Suricata logs into time-series dashboards to cut detection-to-investigation time.
