Security Operations Engineer focused on the parts of blue-team work that hold up under pressure — durable detections, tight response workflows, and data-protection policies that actually fit how people work.

Microsoft E5 stack: Sentinel, Defender XDR, Defender for Endpoint, Identity, Cloud Apps, Purview DLP and Insider Risk. Three years of frontline SOC work — triage, KQL detection engineering, vulnerability management, and the patch cycles that keep an attack surface honest.

Most interested in detection engineering at the cloud edge, identity-centric threat models, and using automation to shorten the gap between alert and decision.
