// about me

From analyst to
your career guide

I started my career as a network security engineer in 2017 and have since worked across some of North America and India's most demanding security environments — from PwC and Cognizant to Greenway Health and my current role at Long View Systems in Edmonton.

I've been in the trenches of SOC operations, hunted real threats, written KQL queries for Microsoft Sentinel, led red team exercises, and built incident response playbooks from scratch. I know exactly what employers want — because I've been that employer's hire.

I'm active on HackTheBox, write on Medium about cybersecurity, and stay sharp so you learn from someone still in the field — not someone who left it.
