What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a security operations role where I can run Microsoft Sentinel/Defender end-to-end, automate response workflows, and strengthen audit-ready compliance with strong incident ownership and continuous improvement.

I’m a Security Engineer focused on running day-to-day security operations and improving how teams detect, investigate, and respond to threats. I’ve managed Microsoft Defender XDR and Microsoft Sentinel from threat detection through incident response and reporting.

I design and automate security workflows to reduce manual effort and speed up action. Using Microsoft Logic Apps and Microsoft Sentinel SOAR playbooks, I’ve built alert routing, threat enrichment, IOC blocking, endpoint isolation, ticketing, and automated remediation.

I also support security compliance and audit readiness through control reviews, evidence collection, gap assessments, and remediation tracking for RBI, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, DORA, ISO 27001, and banking regulatory audits. In parallel, I bring hands-on investigation experience from SOC operations across 40+ client environments.

Beyond security operations, I’ve provided L1 Desktop Support—troubleshooting hardware, software, operating system, network connectivity, and user access—to keep service requests moving and uphold SLA expectations. I bring a practical, results-driven mindset, with ownership from alert to resolution and a strong focus on governance and operational efficiency.
