At Granicus, my core engineering work as a Microsoft 365 Security Engineer includes Conditional Access, phishing-resistant MFA, privileged access, Intune MDM, email security, IAM, and data protection, supported by Python and PowerShell automation. I built an agentic AI investigation platform using MCP servers to analyze Microsoft Defender for Office 365 phishing alerts and Entra ID signals, generate structured SOC reports, and save over 7 analyst hours weekly. I also architected a secure MCP Gateway for Jira and Confluence Data Center with a custom OAuth 2.0 authentication broker, working within organizational controls. I have served as the primary L3 escalation engineer for 10+ complex Microsoft 365 incidents, turning investigation findings into reusable detections, automation workflows, and engineering improvements while mentoring junior analysts. I authored a few Elasticsearch/Defender XDR detection and correlation rules that shortened high-severity triage by 20%, reduced false positives by approximately 20% through detection tuning, and disabled 150+ unauthorized enterprise applications.
