I am a Senior Analyst in the domain of Cyber Defense operating across CSIRT and the Security Intelligence Center (SIC) operations, focused on high-fidelity incident response, threat hunting, detection engineering, and intelligence gathering.

My day-to-day work involves leading high-severity Cyber Intrusions, Incident Response & Digital Forensic investigations spanning multiple areas such as endpoint, network, and cloud telemetry, with practical depth in triage, containment, digital evidence handling, and post-incident root cause analysis. My background spans SOC operations, malware investigation, and threat hunting across enterprise environments.

Focus areas

  • Incident response leadership for complex intrusions including Digital forensics and artifact-driven reconstruction
    • When incidents occur, I drive containment and technical analysis with precision and documentation discipline. My work includes:
      • Rapid triage of SIEM and EDR alerts
      • Deep artifact analysis and forensic reconstruction
      • Timeline building and root cause validation
      • Clear communication with impacted users and leadership Preserving investigative clarity under pressure
  • Threat detection engineering and tuning
    • Beyond reactive response, I focus heavily on proactive detection refinement.
      • Authoring and testing threat hunts
      • Evaluating and troubleshooting detection logic
      • Tuning SIEM/EDR correlations to reduce false positives while preserving coverage
  • Threat intelligence application to improve detection and response speed
    • Creating custom detections based on intelligence reporting
