What I'm looking for

I’m looking to continue leading high-impact SOC operations—owning incident response, threat hunting, and detection engineering—while mentoring teams and improving security outcomes with strong investigation rigor and measurable improvements in SLAs and visibility.

I’m a cybersecurity Security Engineer with 4+ years in cyber security and over a decade of overall industry exposure, including 7 years in the mechanical domain. I focus on proactive cyber defense—driving 24x7 security operations, incident response, threat hunting, and strengthening organizational security posture through ownership and mentoring.

In my current role, I lead the incident response lifecycle—containment, eradication, and recovery—while performing proactive threat hunting to reduce attacker dwell time. I conduct endpoint and server forensics to determine root cause, scope of compromise, and attackers’ TTP, using CQL and KQL for investigations.

Previously, I led SOC operations for a team of 15 and managed SOC-IR handoff processes, incident resolution tracking, and detection rule tuning to improve threat visibility and reduce noise. I also deliver monthly SOC metrics to senior management and mentor junior analysts to elevate team capability, backed by hands-on expertise across SIEM and EDR technologies.
