Entry-level cybersecurity analyst skilled in threat analysis, forensics, and penetration testing.
What I'm looking for
I am a cybersecurity professional with a BSc in Information Security & Forensics and certifications including CompTIA Security+ and CEH, currently working as an L1 Security Analyst. I focus on web and network security, digital forensics, and IDS/IPS.
I have practical experience monitoring SIEM alerts, supporting incident response, and conducting vulnerability assessments under senior guidance. I have also mentored students and mentees in hands-on labs and CTF-style challenges, supporting over 20 learners to build practical skills.
My technical toolkit includes Python, JavaScript, Linux administration, SQL, Splunk, Metasploit, Wireshark and Burp Suite, and I apply these tools for penetration testing, threat analysis and forensic data collection. I balance technical work with clear security documentation and collaborative SOC operations.
I am a problem-solver who values teamwork, attention to detail and continuous learning. I am seeking entry-level roles where I can grow technically, contribute to incident response and SOC operations, and deepen my experience in security engineering and forensics.
