About Me

I am an MCA graduate currently serving as a SOC Analyst at Amvion Labs, where I specialize in real-time security monitoring, advanced threat analysis, and comprehensive incident response. I leverage SIEM platforms such as Wazuh and FortiSIEM to analyze system logs, EDR alerts, and firewall data, enabling precise threat detection and correlation of complex security incidents.

My hands-on expertise spans industry-leading security tools including Wazuh and FortiSIEM (SIEM platforms), Palo Alto and Sophos (firewall solutions), and SentinelOne (endpoint detection and response). This diverse technical foundation has cultivated my proficiency in identifying, analyzing, and mitigating sophisticated security threats across multi-layered infrastructure.

I am deeply committed to advancing my expertise in SOC operations, network defense, and emerging security frameworks. My professional interests encompass SOC operations, threat intelligence analysis, and network security engineering roles, where I can contribute strategic insights to organizational cybersecurity posture and incident response strategies.

Beyond technical pursuits, I am an accomplished photographer and video editor. These creative endeavors have honed my attention to detail and analytical mindset, complementing my approach to solving complex cybersecurity challenges with precision and innovation.
