What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities, a collaborative culture, and the chance to tackle complex cybersecurity challenges.

I am a dedicated cybersecurity professional with extensive experience in threat hunting, network analysis, and Security Operations Center (SOC) operations. My journey in cybersecurity has equipped me with the skills to deploy security solutions, conduct thorough risk assessments, and analyze Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs). I take pride in my ability to create standardized processes and deliver actionable threat intelligence, all while mentoring teams to enhance their capabilities in protecting critical systems.

Currently, as a Threat Researcher at Subex Ltd, I have designed and deployed operational technology (OT) honeypots that captured over 1,000 malicious activities, showcasing my commitment to improving cybersecurity measures. My role involves analyzing thousands of network logs to identify threats and developing IDS/IPS signatures to enhance detection capabilities. I have also authored numerous threat intelligence reports that map attacks to MITRE tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), contributing significantly to our organizational threat intelligence.

With a Master’s degree in Digital Forensics and Information Security, I am eager to leverage my skills in a challenging environment where I can continue to grow and make a meaningful impact in the field of cybersecurity.
