Project history
Designed and implemented cloud security controls across Azure multi-subscription environments including IAM policies, role assignments, conditional access rules, and resource-level security boundaries. Conducted Business Impact Analyses and Threat Risk Assessments including vulnerability scanning and penetration testing. Supported GRC initiatives by aligning cloud security practices with organizational and regulatory requirements, enforcing policy baselines, and generating posture reports aligned to SOC 2 and ISO 27001.
Sentinel Detection Engineering Lab using Azure, Microsoft Sentinel, KQL, and Log Analytics. Engineered 20+ custom Microsoft Sentinel detections covering identity-based attacks, privilege escalation, and suspicious cloud activity. Simulated real-world adversary techniques to generate authentic attack telemetry and validate detection logic. Authored and published detection rules, KQL queries, and incident investigation guides, and configured Data Collection Rules and Azure Monitor Agent to centralize telemetry in a Log Analytics workspace.
Developed and maintained backend services and APIs using Java, contributing to core application features, bug fixes, and performance improvements. Created and managed Azure cloud resources including virtual machines, storage, and networking components to support application infrastructure.
