What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a security role where I can investigate alerts, build detections, analyze logs, harden systems, and grow through hands-on work with SOC, cloud, and network security technologies.

I've built security-focused home labs using Wazuh, pfSense, n8n, and VirtualBox to centralize event monitoring, investigate alerts, simulate SSH brute-force and privilege-escalation activity, and validate automated response workflows. I also developed SigmaDojo, a hands-on detection engineering platform that validates Sigma rules against synthetic logs and translates detections into Splunk SPL and Microsoft Sentinel KQL.

I'm an IT student focused on security operations, Linux hardening, network engineering, and vulnerability research. My work includes responsibly disclosing an IDOR vulnerability to IIT Bombay's Spoken Tutorial platform and CERT-In, building hardened Linux and DNS infrastructure, and analyzing MITM attack traffic with Wireshark.
