What I'm looking for

I seek hands-on DFIR or SOC roles where I can apply digital forensics analysis, threat research, and incident response skills, with opportunities for growth and impact.

I am a cybersecurity professional with hands-on experience in digital forensics, incident response, threat research and OSINT investigations. I combine technical analysis with clear reporting to support high-pressure incident engagements.

At i-Force Belgium I participated in forensic examinations of compromised systems, performed data exfiltration analysis, supported live incident response, and authored detailed technical reports for clients and internal stakeholders.

As a SOC analyst I researched AI-generated malware, developed YARA and SIGMA detection rules, and automated security log analysis with AI. I also have pentesting and social engineering experience from engagements at Zorgnet-Icuro.

My background includes practical IT support, ISO 27001 compliance mapping, web development using Laravel, and production/supply-chain systems experience gained in the UK. I hold a Bachelor in Applied Computer Science (Cybersecurity) and CyberOps/CCNA-related certifications.
