What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on cybersecurity role where I can apply SIEM and packet-analysis skills, contribute to incident response and detection engineering, and grow within a collaborative security team.

I am a cybersecurity student and hands-on practitioner who focuses on network traffic analysis, SIEM detection engineering, and secure systems administration. I have led a senior capstone analyzing 380,000+ Wi‑Fi packets, developed Splunk IDS alert rules for deauthentication attacks, and actively practice SIEM analysis and lab-based tool usage.

My experience includes managing Active Directory for 500+ users, deploying 150+ secure workstations during a domain migration, and investigating malware behavior and creating detection dashboards in Splunk. I volunteer in STEM outreach, communicate effectively in customer-facing roles, and bring rapid incident-response support and documentation discipline to security teams.
