INITIALIZING...
Cybersecurity Graduate · SOC Analyst Candidate · Security Engineer
MS Cybersecurity & Privacy graduate from NJIT with 2.5 years of software engineering experience at Mphasis. I build detection systems, simulate attacks in my Home SOC Lab, and hunt for threats in the Microsoft Sentinel ecosystem. Based in Jersey City, NJ — open to SOC Analyst and Security Engineer roles.
Software engineer turned cybersecurity specialist. I spent 2.5 years at Mphasis working on JPMorgan Chase's Core Deposit Platform, then pivoted to earn my MS in Cybersecurity at NJIT. That engineering background gives me a unique lens when analyzing systems, logs, and attack surfaces.
Actively building my Home SOC Lab with Microsoft Sentinel, writing KQL detection rules, and simulating real-world attacks. Pursuing SC-900 (scheduled) → AZ-500 and CompTIA Security+ to sharpen my cloud security and analyst toolkit.
