What I'm looking for

I’m looking to grow in SOC and incident response work—driving threat detection, faster triage, and stronger event correlation. I want collaborative teams that value continuous learning, clear stakeholder communication, and measurable risk reduction.

I’m a cybersecurity professional with experience in security operations, software security assessments, vulnerability analysis, and risk management across 100+ third-party applications and enterprise environments. I focus on turning security findings into actionable remediation and clear decision support for stakeholders.

In my recent role as a Programmer Analyst, I conducted end-to-end security assessments using static, dynamic, and behavioral analysis to identify cyber security risks and prevent deployment of high-risk applications. I performed malware detection and analysis with tools like VirusTotal and endpoint security solutions, coordinating with vendors to resolve issues and reduce operational risk.

I’ve led vulnerability scanning and CVE analysis using Rapid7 Nexpose and NVD/CVE databases to evaluate severity, exploitability, and remediation requirements. I also investigated endpoint and registry behaviors with RegShot, DTEX, and CrowdStrike Falcon, and supported threat investigations through network traffic analysis with Wireshark and PCAP analysis.

I’m passionate about SOC environments, incident response, and threat detection, with a strong commitment to continuous learning and collaboration. I’m especially interested in working with SIEM-driven workflows (including Splunk) to improve alert triage, event correlation, and incident investigation outcomes.
