About

Cybersecurity professional at IBM, currently working as a Technical Consultant in Threat Detection, Response & Intelligence within IBM's Security Intelligence & Operations Consulting practice. I focus on SOC operations, detection engineering, and threat intelligence for global enterprise clients. Hands-on with Splunk SIEM, Palo Alto XSIAM, Microsoft Defender, Proofpoint, and Elastic SIEM — using KQL and Elastic Common Schema (ECS) to build, tune, and optimize detection logic. Certified in AZ-500 (Azure Security Engineer), SC-200 (Security Operations Analyst), CompTIA Security+, Elastic Certified SIEM Analyst, and Palo Alto Networks Certified XSIAM Analyst. I apply the MITRE ATT&CK framework to map adversary TTPs, reduce false positives, and strengthen detection coverage. I've also led knowledge transfer sessions for new analysts, represented teams in client-facing calls, and contributed to asset classification, risk analysis, and security policy design as part of consulting delivery. Open to connecting with SOC, detection engineering, and threat intelligence professionals.
