What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role in cybersecurity that fosters growth and innovation.

I am a dedicated SOC Analyst with a strong passion for cybersecurity. My journey began with a BSc in Computer Science from the Higher Technological Institute, where I graduated with a GPA of 3.1. Since then, I have honed my skills in threat detection and incident response, currently working at Alpha Defense Systems. My role involves monitoring security alerts, investigating potential threats, and implementing effective incident response strategies.

Throughout my career, I have gained extensive experience with various SIEM tools, including Microsoft Sentinel, QRadar, and Splunk. I have successfully created rules for tuning alerts and have a solid understanding of network security concepts. My training and internships have equipped me with the knowledge to analyze logs, correlate data, and respond to incidents effectively. I am committed to staying updated on the latest cybersecurity trends to mitigate risks and protect organizations from potential threats.
