What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a remote Security Operations Center role where I can monitor systems, triage alerts, investigate security events, support incident response operations, and keep building technical expertise through hands-on lab practice.

I’m a motivated, detail-oriented SOC Analyst with a strong foundation in cybersecurity principles, network security, and incident response. I’ve built hands-on defensive and offensive lab experience using BlueTeam labs, TryHackMe, and Cisco Packet Tracer, and I’m comfortable monitoring systems, analyzing logs, identifying vulnerabilities, and assisting with incident response activities.

I focus on alert triage, log analysis, and clear incident documentation, using SIEM/SOAR-style workflows with Splunk and Wazuh. I’ve applied the incident response lifecycle (preparation, detection, analysis, containment, eradication, recovery) and practiced vulnerability scanning and risk prioritization with tools like Nmap, Wireshark, and Metasploit—while continuously developing my technical expertise in a Security Operations Center environment.
