I am a SOC Analyst with over three years of hands-on experience protecting fintech and cloud environments, specializing in SIEM, incident response, vulnerability assessment, and penetration testing.

I have implemented and managed centralized SIEM solutions using the ELK Stack and AWS OpenSearch, built custom alerting rules, and tuned log sources to improve threat visibility across production, sandbox, and development environments.

My work includes deploying and supervising HIDS (Wazuh, OSSEC), conducting VAPT with Burp Suite Pro, Tenable/Nessus, Nmap and OpenVAS, and strengthening container security with Prisma Cloud Compute. I have also managed firewalls (Sophos, Check Point) and enforced compliance with PCI-DSS, NIST 800-53, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and MITRE ATT&CK mappings.

I communicate technical findings clearly to nontechnical stakeholders, maintain thorough security documentation and runbooks, and continuously pursue professional development to stay current with evolving cybersecurity threats and tools.
