What I'm looking for

I am seeking a hands-on SOC role focused on threat detection, incident response, and threat hunting in a collaborative 24x7 environment that values learning, mentorship, and career growth.

I am a SOC Analyst with three years of hands-on experience in threat analysis, incident response, and continuous security monitoring across enterprise environments.

I specialize in SIEM platforms (IBM QRadar, Splunk, Cortex XSOAR), EDR (Microsoft Defender, SentinelOne), phishing and malware analysis, and threat hunting using the MITRE ATT&CK framework.

I have operated in a 24x7 SOC, handling 50+ alerts per day with 98% SLA compliance, conducted root-cause investigations on Windows and Linux systems, and led onboarding and training of new team members.

I collaborate with cross-functional teams for incident escalation, prepare RCA and regular reports, and apply strong network-protocol knowledge to investigate and mitigate network-based attacks.
