What I'm looking for

I'm looking for an immediate cybersecurity or SOC opportunity where I can monitor threats, investigate alerts, assess vulnerabilities, and grow through hands-on incident response and security operations work.

I've performed VAPT across systems and web applications at Futurense Technologies, identifying medium- and high-risk vulnerabilities with Nmap, Burp Suite, and Wireshark.

I built a Wazuh SOC home lab that detects SMB brute-force and obfuscated PowerShell attacks through Windows Event Log analysis, mapped to MITRE ATT&CK. I documented the attack chain, detection queries, analyst notes, and response recommendations on GitHub.

At Sunshine Industries, I administered VLAN, DHCP, and DNS configurations across 50+ endpoints while monitoring traffic patterns and resolving network connectivity issues. I also maintained incident logs and security documentation.

I'm CEH, CND, and ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity, with hands-on experience in security monitoring, log analysis, incident response support, web security testing, and Python security automation.
