Professional Summary
SOC L1 Analyst with 0 years of experience focusing on SIEM monitoring, log analysis, and alert triage. Holds CompTIA Security+ and built a hands-on security monitoring home lab using Wazuh to implement SIEM, file integrity monitoring, and real-time alerting across Windows and Ubuntu endpoints. Applied Java and Spring Boot during a full-stack internship to design authentication, secure data flow, and REST endpoints—strengthening understanding of access control and secure coding. Performed packet-level analysis with Wireshark and applied TCP/IP troubleshooting to validate detections. Experienced in documenting incidents, producing ticket-ready case notes, and translating technical findings for non-technical stakeholders. Targeting a remote SOC L1 Analyst role where rapid alert validation, clear incident documentation, and escalation accuracy provide immediate operational value.

Work Experience
Snithik Technologies
Full-Stack Developer Intern
Mar 2022 – May 2022
Worked at a software services provider building a client-facing exam portal; focused on backend services, authentication, and secure data handling for web applications.
Tech Stack: Java, Spring Boot, Code Reviews
- Designed and implemented authentication and access-control logic using Java and Spring Boot to enforce session management and role-based permissions.
- Developed REST API endpoints in Spring Boot for exam data ingestion and retrieval, ensuring input validation and secure parameter handling.
- Debugged production and staging defects using systematic root-cause analysis to restore expected behavior and eliminate recurring failures.
- Implemented unit and integration checks as part of the feature delivery pipeline to maintain data integrity across authentication flows.
- Drove code reviews to identify insecure coding patterns and enforce secure defaults for password handling and session lifecycle.
- Documented backend design, API contracts, and handover notes to support operations and first-line support engineers during client rollouts.
Home Lab
Personal / Virtual Lab
IT Systems Monitoring & Threat Detection Environment (Personal Project)
Built and operated a Windows/Linux hybrid security monitoring lab in VMware Fusion to validate SIEM detections, packet-level analysis, and FIM alerting.
Tech Stack: Wazuh, SIEM, File Integrity Monitoring, Log Analysis, Alert Triage, Wireshark, TCP, VMware Fusion, Windows
- Deployed Wazuh as the lab SIEM to collect host and system logs from Ubuntu and Windows guests for centralized log analysis.
- Configured File Integrity Monitoring rules in Wazuh to detect unauthorized file changes and generate actionable alerts for triage.
- Performed log analysis and alert triage workflows to classify events, escalate suspected compromises, and produce reproducible findings.
- Captured and analyzed network traffic with Wireshark to validate detection signatures and troubleshoot TCP/IP anomalies between VMs.
- Provisioned and configured virtual machines in VMware Fusion to simulate endpoint diversity and validate cross-platform detection coverage.
- Documented configuration steps, alert handling playbooks, and incident notes to produce ticket-ready artifacts for SOC handoff.
