What I'm looking for

I’m looking to grow in a SOC/Security Analytics team where I can deploy SIEM and tune detections, investigate incidents with strong log analysis, and apply junior penetration testing to improve vulnerability and threat outcomes.

I’m a CompTIA Security+ certified Security Analyst and Junior Penetration Tester, focused on building practical SOC capabilities that drive real threat detection. I’ve worked across SIEM deployment, network monitoring, threat detection, and vulnerability assessment, with a strong emphasis on alert triage and root cause investigation.

I configure and tune security tools including Wazuh, Suricata, Splunk, and Snort, and I’ve developed custom IDS detection rules to improve real-time identification of malicious behavior. In my Security Researcher role at Ehackify, I deploy SIEM for centralized log aggregation and incident analysis, then translate findings into detailed technical reports with actionable remediation guidance.

I also bring hands-on offensive security skills from 50+ labs on TryHackMe and HackTheBox, including Active Directory exploitation, incident response, and digital forensics. I work comfortably with MITRE ATT&CK, OWASP Top 10, and ISO/IEC 27001 frameworks, and I’m motivated by security work that improves detection quality, incident outcomes, and long-term resilience.
