• Develop advanced Splunk queries, dashboards, and alerts to support threat hunting, incident investigations, and operational monitoring.

• Design and implement automation solutions in AWS, including enforcing security controls, monitoring compliance, and streamlining cloud operations.

• Perform advanced log analysis, data correlation, and anomaly detection to support proactive threat detection and investigations.
