I am a Security Operations Engineer with a proven track record in 24/7 SOC environments, threat detection, and security automation. My hands-on approach — from building custom FortiSIEM parsers to deploying AI-powered phishing detection systems — is grounded in real-world incident response experience within a banking sector SOC.
I hold a Microsoft SC-200 certification and rank in the Top 1% globally on TryHackMe, where I maintain a 531+ day learning streak. My non-traditional academic background (B.Com, Kakatiya University) has only sharpened my drive: every certification, lab, and project is earned through genuine effort and practical application.
I write about cybersecurity on Medium and actively contribute to the SOC community through technical blog posts, CTF participation, and open-source automation tools.
