What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and a collaborative environment focused on cybersecurity challenges.

I am a cybersecurity professional with three years of experience specializing in threat detection, incident response, and system monitoring across both cloud and on-premises environments. My journey in cybersecurity has equipped me with the skills to manage security operations effectively, optimize alerts, and reduce false positives. I have a proven track record of collaborating with Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) to enhance client security posture, ensuring that organizations remain resilient against emerging threats.

Currently, I serve as a Security Analyst at Soffit Infrastructure Services, where I perform 24/7 SIEM monitoring and investigation using tools like Wazuh and Elasticsearch. My role involves responding to various security incidents, conducting log analysis, and creating comprehensive security assurance reports. Additionally, I have experience as a Business Intelligence Analyst and SOC Analyst, where I honed my skills in threat intelligence analysis and operational security tools. My educational background includes a Master's in Cyber Security and various industry-recognized certifications, which further solidify my expertise in this dynamic field.
