What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a SOC-focused role where I can triage alerts, support Tier-1 incident reporting, and improve detections and vulnerability workflows. I work well in follow-the-sun coverage and want clear playbooks, mentorship, and measurable impact.

I’m a cybersecurity analyst with a Master of Cybersecurity and a seven-year foundation in forensic science, which gives me a genuinely investigative mindset for security operations. I bring hands-on SOC operations experience across Splunk and IBM QRadar, plus AWS cloud security architecture and threat intelligence.

I’m strong in Tier-1 incident reporting and analysis, including IOC extraction and enrichment, MITRE ATT&CK mapping, and TTP analysis, supported by frameworks like NIST CSF, ISO/IEC 27001, GDPR, and PCI DSS. I also develop detection-focused workflows—triaging alerts, building detection dashboards, and improving false-negative outcomes through rule refinement.

I’ve built practical, security-operations-ready solutions through projects and lab work: deploying an AWS IAM/VPC monitoring architecture for financial services, implementing a ServiceNow SecOps vulnerability response workflow with CMDB/IRE risk-based prioritisation (CVSS/VPR), and delivering forensic evidence documentation with strict chain-of-custody in a cyber-forensic internship. I’m available for fully remote global roles and ready to provide reliable follow-the-sun SOC coverage.
