What I'm looking for

I am seeking an entry to early-mid level SOC/threat analysis role where I can apply malware analysis, SIEM, AD, and automation skills while growing under experienced mentors in a collaborative, learning-focused security team.

I am an aspiring cybersecurity professional with hands-on SOC, malware analysis, and defensive engineering experience gained through academic projects, bootcamps, and internships. I have dissected real malware (Zeus), built and deployed Security Onion on AWS, configured SIEM (ELK), authored Snort rules, and produced professional threat intelligence reports that simulate SOC deliverables.

I bring practical skills in networking, Active Directory administration, incident response, and automation (n8n), plus applied experience customizing MS Dynamics CRM and data research for threat intelligence. I seek to contribute to a security operations or threat analysis team where I can apply technical rigor, continuous learning, and collaborative problem-solving to strengthen defenses and reduce risk.
