Cybersecurity consultant specializing in SOC operations, threat detection, and incident response with automation-driven tuning.
What I'm looking for
I’m a cybersecurity consultant with 3+ years of experience specializing in threat detection, SOC operations, and incident response across financial services and enterprise clients. I focus on turning security data into faster decisions through automation, detection tuning, and proactive threat hunting.
At Deloitte, I managed security alerts and incidents for a dedicated global client, using MDE, Splunk, and ServiceNow to ensure timely detection, escalation, and remediation aligned with SLAs. I run proactive threat hunting and IOC analysis across endpoints and networks to strengthen early detection capabilities.
I’ve consistently improved signal quality—fine-tuning SIEM rules and detection logic to reduce false positives and improve alert fidelity by 40%. I also collaborated with red-teaming exercises and phishing simulations, then delivered client-facing reports with actionable mitigation steps to support compliance and audit readiness.
Across my earlier Deloitte roles, I supported multi-client SOC services with QRadar SIEM, XSOAR, and CrowdStrike Falcon EDR as a first line of defense. I built and improved SOC SOPs, optimized use cases to cut average triage time from 15 minutes to under 2 minutes, and streamlined workflows through whitelisting and alert reduction.
