What I'm looking for

I am seeking a remote, entry-level SOC Analyst role that emphasizes hands-on log analysis and incident response, in a collaborative, learning-focused environment where I can grow technical skills and contribute to threat detection and remediation.

I am an MSc Cybersecurity student with over three years of professional experience in financial data analysis, reconciliation, and IT auditing. I combine hands-on technical skills in log analysis, Wireshark, vulnerability assessment, and incident response with a strong background in high-detail financial reporting and reconciliation processes.

I have implemented accurate reconciliation workflows, compiled daily and monthly reports, supported ATM and e-banking operations, and provided hardware/software support during an IT internship. I am seeking an entry-level remote SOC Analyst role where I can apply my technical foundation, analytical mindset, and attention to detail to detect, investigate, and respond to security incidents.
