What I'm looking for
I’m a Cyber Security Consultant with 2.5+ years of experience delivering enterprise security consulting, engineering, and security operations across MDR and enterprise environments. I help global clients across Southeast Asia and Western regions improve security posture through proactive defense, detection optimization, and incident response.
In my current role, I lead security operations and consulting engagements for 10+ enterprise clients and partners. I developed and optimized SIEM and XDR detection use cases supporting 3000+ daily alerts, reducing false positives by 30%, and I’ve handled 100+ Tier 2 and critical security incidents. I also conduct weekly threat hunting and manage monitoring coverage across 10,000+ enterprise endpoints using Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk, QRadar, CrowdStrike Falcon, SentinelOne, and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint.
I strengthen defenses beyond operations through cloud and infrastructure security assessments across AWS and Azure, vulnerability assessment and secure configuration reviews, and incident workflow improvements. I mentor 30+ SOC analysts on alert triage and investigation methodologies, and I’ve led cyber defense training and cyber range enablement for RTARF’s Cyber Protection Team Gen1. I’m also credentialed as a Microsoft Azure Security Engineer Associate, Blue Team Level 1, and EC-Council Certified Network Defender.
