What I'm looking for

I seek a role in a collaborative, mission-driven team focused on 24/7 SOC operations, automation, and cloud security where I can scale detection capabilities and support at-risk users.

I am a cybersecurity analyst with hands-on SOC experience monitoring, detecting, and responding to threats for diverse organisations using SentinelOne, CrowdStrike, Google Chronicle, Stellar XDR and Group-IB. I deliver rapid incident triage, clear escalation, and client communication across Windows, macOS, and Linux environments while supporting civil society and at-risk communities with empathy and precision.

I have conducted cloud and mobile penetration testing across AWS, Azure, and GCP, built security tools in Python, and earned certifications including Stellar Cyber SOC Analyst Associate and SOAR Analyst (Google Chronicle). I seek roles where I can strengthen 24/7 detection capabilities, contribute to defensive automation, and grow technical expertise in XDR/EDR and cloud security.
