What I'm looking for

I'm seeking to grow within a Security Operations Center or Cybersecurity Analysis team, where I can build on hands-on alert monitoring, log analysis, threat detection, and incident response experience.

I'm currently monitoring and triaging security alerts at Yelbridges Limited, an ISO 27001-certified MSSP, using Wazuh to identify anomalies, vulnerabilities, and indicators of compromise. I support incident investigations, root cause analysis, remediation recommendations, and collaboration with IT and network teams.

I've also improved workstation uptime and network reliability at KALRO, supported secure claims and access-control workflows at NHIF, and built a cybersecurity home lab with VirtualBox, Kali Linux, Wireshark, Nmap, and Splunk. I'm CompTIA Security+ certified and completed the TryHackMe SOC Level 1 path.
