I am a CompTIA Security+ certified SOC professional currently pursuing a B.S. in Cybersecurity with a strong GPA of 3.80. I have hands-on experience in threat detection, endpoint hardening, and digital forensics, which has enabled me to identify live FTP brute-force attacks using tools like Splunk SIEM and Wireshark. I am skilled in producing actionable IOC reports and confirming malware through MD5 hash mismatches and hex-level byte analysis without executing any payloads.
Currently, I work as a Level 1 Security Technician where I harden enterprise endpoints to NIST standards, enforce BIOS/UEFI lockdown, Secure Boot, TPM activation, and firmware password controls to reduce hardware-layer vulnerabilities. I have successfully eliminated pre-deployment attack surfaces and ensured zero data-breach risk on decommissioned media by executing secure sanitization processes.
My experience also includes reducing system downtime by diagnosing and repairing critical hardware failures, which has restored full operational capacity across device fleets. Previously, I worked as a Preschool Assistant Teacher, where I developed strong protocol compliance and incident-escalation discipline applicable to SOC alert triage.
I have completed several security lab projects involving threat detection, log analysis, digital forensics, file recovery, and malware/file integrity analysis using various tools such as Autopsy, Xmount, PhotoRec, and EaseUS. I am proficient in analyzing network traffic, packet inspection, and TCP/IP protocols.
I am fluent in English and have conversational skills in Hindi and native proficiency in Urdu. I am eager to contribute my skills and knowledge to a SOC team and ready to make an immediate impact.
