## About Me

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.

## Experience

Level 1 Security Technician @ Techway Services  Feb 2026 - Present Eliminated pre-deployment attack surface across 100% of provisioned endpoints by enforcing BIOS/UEFI lockdown, Secure Boot, TPM activation, and firmware password controls — measurably reducing hardware-layer vulnerability exposure before devices reached users. Achieved zero data-breach risk on decommissioned media by executing NIST-compliant secure sanitization (Zipware) on every retired device, maintaining a 100% clean chain-of-custody record. Reduced system downtime across the device fleet by diagnosing and resolving critical hardware failures, performing component-level upgrades and repairs that restored full operational capacity.

Preschool Assistant Teacher @ Legacy Learning Center  Dec 2024 - Oct 2025 Maintained 100% protocol compliance in high-pressure, fast-changing environments — building the incident-escalation discipline and attention to detail that directly transfers to SOC alert triage.
