Dedicated SOC Analyst with practical experience in cybersecurity.

What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic security team where I can contribute and grow my cybersecurity skills.

I am a dedicated SOC Analyst with hands-on experience in Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), log analysis, and threat detection. My journey in cybersecurity began during my studies at the Holy Spirit University of Kaslik, where I developed a strong foundation in Information Technology. I am committed to leveraging my analytical skills to enhance cybersecurity measures and protect organizational assets.

During my internship at Potech, I monitored and analyzed security alerts using a SIEM solution, effectively identifying and responding to potential threats. I handled incident responses and maintained thorough documentation of all incidents and actions taken. Currently, as a self-employed Homelab SOC Analyst, I have built a virtualized SOC lab environment and deployed Wazuh SIEM to collect and analyze security logs, further honing my skills in log analysis and threat detection.
