About
A Cyber Security Analyst with over 2 years of experience working in SOC environments, focusing on threat detection, incident response and security monitoring, and worked extensively with tools like Microsoft Defender, SentinelOne, Carbon Black, Sophos, and Cortex XDR, handling alert triage, IOC analysis, and real-time incident investigation and regularly analyzing logs across endpoints, network, and cloud platforms like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. Alongside monitoring, also contributed to improving security posture through documentation, alert tuning, and supporting incident response processes. I'm particularly interested in threat hunting, cloud security, and building more efficient detection and response workflows.
Looking forward to grow into roles where I can take on deeper responsibilities in security operations and engineering.
