Cybersecurity Professional

Hey, I’m Abhishek 👋

I’m a cybersecurity graduate with hands-on experience in SIEM, SOC operations and secure application development, with a strong interest in real-time monitoring, automation and threat intelligence.

I’ve worked with Deloitte USI and Deakin Cyber Research across threat detection, incident response, IoT systems and security-focused development. I also build side projects combining security, AI, cloud infrastructure and practical web applications.

I’m currently focused on growing as a security engineer and building useful systems that solve real problems.
