What I'm looking for

I seek SOC or security engineering roles where I can apply threat-detection, SIEM, and IAM skills, grow technically, and contribute to incident detection and remediation.

I am a cybersecurity graduate focused on SOC operations, threat detection, and secure systems administration, with hands-on experience in SIEM monitoring, AD-based IAM, and network security analysis. I convert security concepts into measurable improvements through labs, research projects, and enterprise-grade tooling, demonstrated by projects like a Transformer-based NIDS and an Active Directory IAM deployment.

My practical training includes Wazuh-based log monitoring, Sysmon endpoint telemetry, and MITRE ATT&CK mapping, complemented by certifications and extensive hands-on labs (TryHackMe, LetsDefend). I bring analytical thinking, structured documentation, rapid learnability, and a research-driven mindset to strengthen detection and access controls in operational environments.
