Aspiring cybersecurity professional with hands-on SOC and cloud security experience.
NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I am an aspiring cybersecurity professional with practical experience in SOC operations and cloud security. I monitor and investigate security alerts using SIEM tools like StellarCyber and escalate verified incidents to response teams.
At Security Tapestry I strengthened incident triage, ticketing, and threat intelligence research, contributing to SOC process improvements and routine security drills. Previously at Tek Experts I progressed from Cloud Support Engineer to Technical Team Lead, supporting cloud customers and implementing best practices.
My certifications include multiple Microsoft Azure and security credentials and I hold an (ISC)² Certified in Cybersecurity. I bring hands-on skills in threat hunting, incident response, Azure networking, and basic PowerShell automation.
I am collaborative, process-oriented, and motivated to defend critical systems through research, automation, and continuous learning, seeking roles where I can grow technically and contribute to robust security operations.
