What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges my skills and offers opportunities for growth in cybersecurity.

I am a dedicated Cybersecurity Analyst with a strong background in threat detection, incident response, and comprehensive security assessments. My experience includes monitoring security events and responding to incidents within a 24x7 SOC environment, where I utilized advanced analysis tools to protect data and ensure system integrity. I have a proven track record of conducting vulnerability assessments and developing SOC playbooks, which have significantly contributed to the security posture of the organizations I've worked with.

Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in analyzing logs from various sources, including firewalls and DNS, and mitigating threats using cloud technologies. My expertise extends to deploying and managing EDR solutions to safeguard critical endpoints, as well as performing basic penetration testing with tools like Burp Suite. I am passionate about leveraging my knowledge to support organizational security goals and enhance overall security measures.
