I’m a Cloud & Security Engineer who loves solving real problems. I’ve spent my career working across Azure security, EDR, and cloud-native protection, helping companies secure their environments, automate response, and trim down unnecessary costs. Right now, I work at SentinelOne, where I get deep into EDR agents, AI-SIEM, Hyperautomation, and Cloud-native defense. I handle everything from incident response and KQL analytics to cost planning, scaling, and deployment — basically making sure security and performance go hand in hand. Here’s where I add the most value: • Deploying and optimizing Azure Sentinel, Defender for Cloud, Defender for IoT, and XDR • Writing solid KQL queries, analytical rules, and automation workflows that actually catch threats • Integrating SentinelOne EDR and SIEM data with Cloud and on-perm workload for unified visibility and faster response • Optimizing infrastructure — scaling smart, monitoring effectively, and cutting waste • Working with Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, Policies, and Alerting to keep everything tight and reliable Before SentinelOne, I earned my B.E. (Hons) in Computer Science & Engineering, specializing in Information Security. During my internship in my college’s ERP department, I performed penetration testing and vulnerability assessments on the internal portal — that’s where my interest in real-world security started. I don’t write buzzwords or push tools — I focus on results. Whether it’s cutting log costs, tightening defenses, or automating security workflows, I make sure every change delivers measurable impact. If you’re looking for someone who can actually get hands-on with Azure, Microsoft Sentinel, Defender, and SentinelOne while keeping things practical and efficient — let’s connect.
