What I'm looking for

I seek hands-on SOC or penetration-testing roles at collaborative teams where I can grow technical skills, lead incident response, and help improve security posture.

I am a dedicated cybersecurity analyst with hands-on SOC experience and a solid background in penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, and ethical hacking. I excel at threat detection, incident response, and using SIEM tools under pressure.

I have completed targeted trainings and internships—including a penetration testing internship, network security training with NTI/Huawei, and AI coursework—that strengthened my practical skills with Metasploit, Burp Suite, Nmap, QRadar, and Splunk.

I build secure solutions and continuously improve security posture by finding hidden vulnerabilities, delivering remediation recommendations, and collaborating effectively with teams.
