What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own SOC-driven threat detection and incident response, improve SIEM and automation workflows, strengthen IAM/IAM- PAM and cloud security, and continuously harden defenses with measurable outcomes and strong teamwork.

I’m a cybersecurity professional with 9 years of IT experience and 4+ years specializing in advanced security operations, threat detection, and incident response. I bring hands-on expertise in vulnerability assessment, forensic analysis, and security monitoring across SOC environments, leveraging SIEM platforms (Splunk, ArcSight) and IDS/IPS to proactively detect, analyze, and mitigate cyber threats.

In my recent roles, I’ve driven measurable security outcomes—reducing unauthorized access incidents by 40% through SSL/TLS encryption and IAM policies (Azure AD), improving threat detection efficiency by 50% via Palo Alto firewall and IDS/IPS configuration, and reducing cloud misconfigurations by 60% with Azure Security Center. I also optimize SOC performance by cutting MTTD & MTTR by 35% using Splunk, and I’ve remediated 90% of critical CVEs using Nessus and Qualys while strengthening compliance aligned to NIST, OWASP, ISO 27001, SOC 2, and GDPR.
