Case Studies That Show Impact

Featured projects demonstrating measurable outcomes in security automation, cloud integration, and IoT systems.

SIEM SOAR -45% MTTR

Cloud Security Operations Framework

Multi-tenant SOAR + SASE integration

Designed and deployed a cloud-first security operations framework for enterprise customers. Built automated playbooks in Cortex XSOAR that ingest alerts from EDR and SIEM, perform enrichment (Threat Intel, asset context), and automatically orchestrate containment actions via NGFW/APIs when confidence thresholds are met.

Highlights
  • Decoupled architecture: ingestion layer → enrichment → decision engine → action adapters
  • Reduced manual triage by 60% using Python integrations and standardized indicators
  • Implemented role-based audit trails for incident handling and RCA
API Design PCI Compliance Real-Time Analytics

Retail Cloud Integration Platform

POS ↔ Cloud sync & reporting

Led a product initiative to replace legacy batch processes with an API-first integration platform to synchronize POS transactions to cloud services. Implemented secure tokenized flows for EMV payments, created Power BI dashboards for operations, and improved data fidelity for forecasting.

Highlights
  • Built resiliency with queueing and idempotent reconciliation
  • Enabled near-real-time Plant production updates and predictive ordering
  • Secured payment flows with OAuth/JWT compliance
Production Plant Management Broker Software Management Azure IoT Production Planning and Execution

MES & IIoT Data Pipeline Modernization

Real-time edge telemetry for Production Execution

Upgraded plant telemetry by integrating edge devices to a cloud ingestion pipeline. Created alerting and trend dashboards to detect deviations and enable early interventions—reducing downtime and improving "golden batch" yield consistency.

Highlights
  • Edge tooling: Bridge Software + Azure IoT Hub
  • Reduced unplanned downtime and improved production visibility
  • Enhanced data-driven decision making for operations teams
