What I'm looking for

I'm looking for an opportunity in SOC operations, threat detection, incident response, digital forensics, or penetration testing where I can apply hands-on SIEM and investigation skills while growing with cross-functional security teams.

I supported live SOC monitoring operations at the Information Network Security Agency (INSA), performing daily log analysis and threat detection with the ELK Stack and Kali Linux tools.

I investigated the Eldoria Project network traffic capture, tracing a phishing-based compromise and identifying command-and-control traffic in Wireshark.

I built SLAIDPS, a hybrid intrusion detection system that monitors Apache logs in real time and classifies attack types using rule-based detection, an LSTM autoencoder, and a GBM classifier.

I also developed a React dashboard for SLAIDPS to visualize detected threats and deliver live alerts to security analysts. I bring hands-on SOC, incident response, digital forensics, and penetration testing experience.
