OVERVIEW

Overview

My work as a Security Developer was driven by a simple goal: close the gap between what the SOC team needed and what the tools could actually deliver. I built Python automation, maintained detection deployment pipelines, and authored the runbooks that became the team's operational standard — always measuring success by whether analysts could respond faster and investigate more effectively.
