What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a SOC Analyst L1, Security Operations, or Threat Monitoring role.

In my Cyber Vigil – SOC Operations Simulation Lab, I monitored 500+ daily network events and logs, then built custom Wazuh dashboards and tuned rules to reduce false positives by 30%.

I used Suricata IDS/IPS log correlation to detect and triage phishing attempts and brute-force logins. I also analyzed malware traffic in Wireshark and documented findings using MITRE ATT&CK.

In my infrastructure vulnerability assessment lab, I carried out scanning, exploitation, and reporting on Metasploitable 2. I used tools including Nmap, Nessus, Burp Suite, OpenVAS, and Metasploit, and prepared reports aligned with ISO 27001 and NIST CSF. I'm seeking a SOC Analyst L1, Security Operations, or Threat Monitoring role.
