What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, encourages continuous learning, and offers opportunities to tackle challenging cybersecurity issues.

I am a dynamic and detail-oriented Tier 1 SOC Analyst with 1.5 years of experience in cybersecurity event monitoring, incident triage, and threat detection. My journey in the tech field began with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from the University of Craiova, where I developed a solid foundation in technical support and software quality assurance. I specialize in phishing email analysis and malware investigations, driven by a passion for proactive defense and continuous learning.

Currently, I work remotely with Smarttech247, where I monitor security events using leading SIEM technologies like Splunk and Crowdstrike. My role involves conducting thorough phishing email investigations, performing initial triage of alerts, and analyzing suspicious documents for malware. I have also collaborated with Tech Mahindra as an Associate Engineer, resolving hardware issues and monitoring network health, which has further honed my technical skills. My experience as a Game Tester at Ubisoft allowed me to enhance software quality through functional and localization testing, ensuring a seamless user experience.
