## What I'm looking for

```text
I'm looking to build practical, standards-based cybersecurity expertise in an enterprise environment, contributing to alert monitoring, vulnerability management, incident response, and security assessments.
```

## About

```text
I'm building practical security operations experience through my SecOps internship at Teksalah LLC, where I monitor and triage vulnerability findings across enterprise assets using Qualys VMDR.

I support remediation tracking and patch deployment coordination with Qualys Patch Management, and conduct web application security assessments using Qualys WAS.

I also assist email security operations in Mimecast and support incident response workflows in CrowdStrike Falcon by monitoring alerts, conducting initial investigations, and documenting findings.

My projects include an AI-powered SSH/Telnet honeypot, a Snort-based intrusion detection system, SIFT forensic analysis, and a man-in-the-middle attack simulation. I'm focused on building standards-based security expertise in an enterprise environment.
