Senior Cybersecurity Analyst | Linux Expert | Open-Source Advocate
For detailed work experience, please check my LinkedIn Profile.
I am a cybersecurity professional who thrives at the intersection of hands-on defense and strategic innovation. Over the past six years, I've evolved from an IT Analyst to a Senior Analyst specializing in threat hunting, SIEM/EDR engineering, and security automation.
I don't just monitor logs — I actively search for adversaries, design tools to detect and mitigate threats, and build systems that strengthen enterprise security from the ground up. From developing a production-ready CTI dashboard to automating complex forensic processes, my work is driven by a single principle: true security is a product of relentless innovation and proactive action.
Recognized with the Torchbearer Award for outstanding contributions, I'm passionate about creating solutions that not only address today's threats but anticipate tomorrow's challenges. My mission is simple: to make digital environments resilient, adaptive, and secure — and to continuously push the boundaries of what's possible in cybersecurity.
Leading enterprise security operations, advanced threat hunting, and incident response coordination. Implementing security automation frameworks and mentoring junior analysts.
Managed SIEM operations, conducted vulnerability assessments, and developed custom security tools. Specialized in Linux-based security hardening and threat detection.
Provided advanced technical support, system administration, and security monitoring. Transitioned focus towards cybersecurity and threat analysis.
Delivered comprehensive system support, user assistance, and infrastructure maintenance. Built foundation in enterprise IT operations and security practices.
Maintaining and updating community packages in the Arch User Repository, ensuring compatibility and security for open-source users worldwide. Contributing to the Linux ecosystem.
Building Sigma rules, detection logic, and hunting playbooks for modern cybersecurity threats and advanced persistent threat patterns. Enhancing enterprise security posture.
Developing automation scripts and vulnerability scanners using Python to enhance security operations and streamline incident response workflows. Open-source contributions.
I recently updated the Pyspread AUR package to version 2.4, walking through the process of modifying the PKGBUILD, refreshing checksums, testing locally, and pushing changes upstream. While simple, this type of maintenance is vital — it keeps the Arch Linux ecosystem reliable, secure, and up to date for end users.
Documented my first full Arch Linux installation from scratch, highlighting lessons on partitions, systemd, networking, and pacman. Beyond the setup, I'm now exploring ways to contribute back to the Arch community through docs, scripts, and tooling — turning the learning curve into an opportunity to give back.
Developed an Ephemeral Email Analyzer to help security teams detect phishing attempts. It parses headers (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), checks domains and IPs against threat intel, scans attachments with YARA, and streams results in real time — all stored ephemerally for privacy. Built with FastAPI, React, and YARA, it's designed for practical use in modern email security operations.
Threat Intelligence Enrichment – A streamlined, open-source dashboard for security analysts, incident responders, and IT admins to analyze IPs and domains instantly. Features WHOIS lookups, geolocation, DNS & SSL checks, and threat reputation scoring via AbuseIPDB & VirusTotal. Real-time processing, executive-ready UI, and secure design make threat analysis faster, cleaner, and more reliable.
