About

Security Engineer with 3+ years of hands-on experience across SOC operations, cloud security, and incident response in hybrid Azure and on-prem environments. Strong background in SIEM monitoring, threat detection, vulnerability assessment, and identity security (IAM, MFA, RBAC), aligned with frameworks such as ISO 27001 and MITRE ATT&CK. At Hexaware, I contributed to strengthening cloud and infrastructure security by tuning SIEM detection rules, analyzing endpoint, email, and network telemetry, and responding to incidents including phishing, malware infections, and brute-force attacks. I regularly supported security audits and produced clear, actionable documentation to meet compliance and governance requirements. I bring a security-first mindset with growing hands-on experience in automation and scripting using Python and PowerShell, along with exposure to cloud-native security practices in Azure. Currently focused on deepening skills in detection engineering, security automation, and cloud security operations, with the goal of moving into advanced Cloud Security, SOC, or Detection Engineering roles
