About me

I'm a cybersecurity professional with a strong foundation in enterprise infrastructure and a focused interest in threat detection and incident response. My background in middleware and server administration gives me an inside-out view of how production systems behave — and how they're exploited.

Over nearly five years at Wipro, I led the vulnerability remediation lifecycle for over 115 production applications hosted on AWS, executed quarterly security patches, and managed end-to-end incident workflows using ServiceNow under ITIL standards.

With my EC-Council Certified SOC Analyst (CSA) credential and hands-on experience with Splunk, I'm now channeling that infrastructure knowledge directly into security operations — where understanding the environment is half the battle.
