What I'm looking for

I seek remote or hybrid SOC roles focused on detection, triage, and incident response with opportunities for mentoring and process improvement.

I am a Tier 1 SOC Cybersecurity Analyst with hands-on experience monitoring and defending corporate environments in the banking and technology sectors. I specialize in alert monitoring, triage, analysis, and escalation of security incidents.

I have practical expertise with SIEM platforms like Wazuh and Splunk, EDR with ESET Protect, and perimeter security using FortiGate; I focus on false positive reduction, log analysis, and MITRE ATT&CK-aligned threat detection. I have implemented Sysmon telemetry and automated alert enrichment in lab and production environments.

My professional experience includes on-site SOC operations where I tuned detection rules, performed containment actions, documented incidents, and developed playbooks and technical manuals to standardize SOC workflows. I also built and managed virtualized environments as a freelance Virtual Infrastructure Administrator, applying hardening and continuity practices.

I continuously train with hands-on platforms (Hack The Box, TryHackMe, BTLO) and hold relevant certifications including Fortinet FCA and Google Cybersecurity Professional Certificate. I am prepared for remote and shift-based work, and I aim to contribute reliable detection and rapid, well-documented incident response.
