About
Cybersecurity professional with 2.5 years of hands-on experience in malware analysis and security monitoring. I have analysed 500+ malware samples using tools like x64dbg, PeStudio, IDA Pro, and ANY.RUN, and work with Splunk daily for log analysis, SPL queries, and alert triage. I have also managed AWS infrastructure including EC2, S3, IAM, and CloudWatch, and written Python and PowerShell scripts to automate parts of the analysis workflow. I am targeting SOC Analyst and Incident Response roles in Mumbai and Thane where I can apply this experience directly in a security operations environment.

Work Experience
Malware Analyst
Microworld Software Services Pvt. Ltd.
Oct 2023 - Mar 2026
Worked with Splunk daily for log searching, writing SPL queries, and monitoring dashboards to catch suspicious activity across the environment. Performed static analysis on 500+ malware samples over 2.5 years using PeStudio and IDA Pro, extracting hidden URLs, encoded commands, file drop paths, and other IOCs from each binary. Ran samples in ANY.RUN sandbox and documented all observed behaviour including file writes, registry changes, process spawns, and outbound network calls in detailed analysis reports. Used x64dbg and Process Monitor for dynamic analysis, tracing malware behaviour at runtime step by step on isolated systems. Collected and maintained a record of IOCs (IP addresses, domains, file hashes, mutex names) for every sample analysed, used by the team for detection and threat hunting. Handled alert triage on a daily basis, reviewing incoming security alerts, separating real threats from false positives, and escalating confirmed incidents to the relevant team. Helped test antivirus tools after signature updates and assisted in deploying and configuring EDR and DLP solutions across client machines. Managed AWS infrastructure including EC2 instance provisioning, S3 bucket management, IAM user and role configuration, CloudWatch monitoring, and VPC and security group administration. Wrote Python and PowerShell scripts to automate repetitive tasks such as bulk IOC lookups and log parsing, reducing manual effort in the analysis process.

Set up servers from scratch including OS installation (Windows, Windows Server, Linux), hardware checks, and initial configuration. Tracked system health metrics covering CPU, memory, and disk utilisation, managed user accounts and permissions, and resolved service issues as they came up. Configured basic firewall rules, set up cron jobs for scheduled tasks, and managed packages using apt and yum. Checked /var/log regularly for anything abnormal, ran network connectivity tests, and handled general file system operations to keep systems stable. Managed storage using RAID and LVM for dynamic volume management and deployed virtual machines using KVM/QEMU on Linux.
