What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on cybersecurity role focused on threat detection, incident response, and malware analysis within a collaborative, learning-focused team.

I am a SOC Analyst with hands-on experience in threat detection, log analysis, SIEM tuning, and incident response using Wazuh, TheHive, Cortex, and Security Onion.

I have performed dynamic and static malware analysis, packet capture inspection, and real-time alert triage, creating custom detection rules and contributing to cybersecurity research.

I completed an internship at the National Cyber Crime Forensics Lab where I analyzed vulnerabilities, enhanced system security, and recommended improvements leveraging Linux and encryption techniques.

I actively participate in CTFs and labs, and have implemented projects including automated detection and response pipelines, IDS/IPS deployments (Snort, Suricata), a malware analysis lab, and a high-accuracy ML ECG classification pipeline.
