What I'm looking for

I am seeking senior security roles where I can lead SOC/IR efforts, conduct risk assessments, and implement threat-informed detection in a collaborative, growth-focused environment.

I am a seasoned cybersecurity professional with nine years of hands-on experience across SOC operations, incident response, threat intelligence, malware analysis, and cyber forensics. I combine deep technical expertise in SIEM, SOAR, EDR and forensic tools with a pragmatic, business-aligned approach to reduce risk and improve security posture.

In recent roles I led 24/7 SOC teams, designed and tuned SIEM detection use cases in ArcSight and Splunk, conducted cyber risk assessments and desktop analyses for large commercial clients, and managed third-party deliverables to ensure compliance and quality. I have driven investigations into phishing, malware, DLP, IDS/IPS incidents, and performed live memory and network forensics to support legal and remediation efforts.

I hold an M.Tech in Cyber Forensics & Information Security and certifications including CEH and Splunk Fundamentals, and I am recognized for performance and threat-intelligence driven incident response work. I seek to apply strategic security leadership and technical depth to help organizations proactively manage cyber risk.
