Cyber Defense Profile

Defender by mindset, analyst by craft, responder by choice.

I'm a Threat Hunter & Incident Responder with deep expertise in analyzing complex malware campaigns, conducting digital forensics investigations, and delivering proactive threat intelligence that actually defends networks in the real world.

My work spans SOC operations, DFIR engagements, malware reverse engineering (static & dynamic), and building SIEM detection logic that catches what signature-based tools miss. I'm passionate about adversary emulation — understanding how attackers think to reduce dwell time and exposure.

Holds globally recognized credentials including CHFI v11, HTB CWES, INE eJPT, AWS Certified CloudOps, JNCIA-Junos, and Fortinet — spanning digital forensics, web exploitation, and cloud security. Active contributor to open-source malware IOC feeds and YARA rule sets.
