I'm building security operations capability through hands-on Wazuh, Cowrie, Elastic Defend, and AWS IAM labs that investigate real attack activity and document remediation.

In my Wazuh SIEM and Cowrie honeypot lab, I analyzed 25+ connections from 20+ IPs, identified credential stuffing, an SSH authorized_keys persistence attempt, and reconnaissance, and reviewed MITRE ATT&CK-mapped detections.

At Visa, I investigate application and authentication failures, identify root causes, and coordinate remediation with engineering and product teams. I also developed and tested a secure expired-password authentication flow and strengthened transaction workflows across 8+ merged PRs.

I'm backed by an M.S. in Cybersecurity Operations and an enterprise software engineering background, bringing practical experience across incident analysis, endpoint telemetry, IAM controls, APIs, testing, and infrastructure troubleshooting.
