Projects
- CYBEROPS - SOC Analyst Training Platform, Python, React, MongoDB, AI, Built a blue team training platform featuring 10+ real-world incident scenarios across 5 attack categories covering phishing, endpoint forensics, network intrusion, log analysis, and threat intelligence., Developed AI mentor using Llama 3.3 70B to review analyst submissions, identify missed IOCs and TTPs, and map findings to MITRE ATT&CK.
- EDR Threat Detection & Response, Microsoft Defender, MITRE ATT&CK, Simulated endpoint compromise; analyzed Microsoft Defender EDR alerts, investigated malicious process behavior, and extracted IOCs including suspicious file paths and network connections across 2 attack scenarios., Mapped full attack chain to MITRE ATT&CK techniques and produced SOC-style incident report detailing attack timeline, containment actions, and remediation steps.
- Phishing & Ad-Fraud Incident Investigation, VirusTotal, IOC Analysis, Analyzed phishing and ad-fraud campaign by inspecting suspicious emails, spoofed domains, and malicious URLs; evaluated 15+ IOCs using VirusTotal to reconstruct the attack lifecycle., Documented findings in a formal SOC-aligned incident report covering attacker TTPs including domain spoofing, URL redirection, and credential harvesting.
- SIEM Log Analysis & SOC Dashboard, SIEM, Alert Triage, Configured 10+ custom alert rules in SentinelOps SIEM for threat detection and built a live dashboard visualizing risky IPs, security events, and alert trends., Performed structured alert triage following SOC L1 workflow, reducing false positive noise and prioritizing actionable incidents for escalation.
