What I'm looking for

I seek a cybersecurity role focused on SOC operations, incident detection and response, and compliance, in a collaborative, learning-focused environment.

I am a detail-oriented cybersecurity professional with hands-on SOC experience, IT support background, and certifications including CompTIA A+/Network+/Security+ and ISC2. I have monitored and triaged security alerts using Splunk, configured firewalls with pfSense, built SIEM solutions with ELK and Splunk, and applied frameworks such as ISO/IEC 27001, NIST CSF, PCI DSS and SOC 2.

I combine technical skills (Wireshark, Nessus, Nmap, pfSense, Splunk, ManageEngine Log360) with strong communication and teaching experience, having served as a tutor for CompTIA courses and delivered security awareness initiatives. I seek roles where I can protect infrastructure, improve detection and response, and help organizations maintain continuous compliance.
