What I'm looking for

I'm seeking an entry-level SOC or Security Analyst role where I can apply SIEM monitoring, log analysis, incident response, vulnerability assessment, and continuous learning to help detect and respond to threats.

I've built hands-on cybersecurity experience through SOC-focused simulations with Commonwealth Bank, AIG, ANZ, and Deloitte, investigating incidents, suspicious emails, web logs, vulnerabilities, and indicators of compromise.

I use Splunk, Wireshark, Nmap, Python, and threat intelligence to support detection and remediation. I also developed a machine learning-based network intrusion detection system and rank in the top 5% globally on TryHackMe.
