## About

```text
I've supported cybersecurity and compliance operations at Leap India Pvt. Ltd., managing ISMS documentation and preparing audit-ready ITGC evidence aligned to ISO 27001:2022 controls.

I monitor SOC alerts through Trend Micro Apex One, triaging malware, phishing, and vulnerability events while maintaining incident logs for compliance reporting. I've also analyzed FortiGate firewall logs, monitored endpoint vulnerabilities and patch compliance, and extended visibility across cloud and endpoint activity.

Previously, I monitored and troubleshot enterprise networks at Synoptics Technologies Limited, configuring routers, switches, and firewalls. I also build security-focused projects, including an OSINT digital-footprint risk scorer, an encrypted social media and storage platform, and a digital watermarking and steganography application.
