What I'm looking for

I'm currently open to opportunities in SOC Analysis, Incident Response/DFIR, Detection Engineering, and related defensive-security roles.

At Ubuntu Bridge Initiative, I completed 10 assessed technical stages in SOC Analysis and progressed to Advanced Fellow and Stage 9B finalist. My work covered threat hunting, detection engineering, network detection, and incident response/DFIR, including ranking first at Stages 7 and 8.

I built TraceSOC, a provenance-first SOC/DFIR evidence-reconstruction engine that correlates heterogeneous security evidence while preserving traceability to source artifacts. Outside the programme, I built a Wazuh lab under 8GB hardware constraints and deployed Elastic Security on GCP to investigate SSH activity; I also delivered cybersecurity awareness sessions across seven schools, reaching 600+ students.
