What I'm looking for

I'm seeking opportunities in security operations, incident response, threat detection, and vulnerability management where I can contribute and continue growing professionally.

In my ongoing SOC Infrastructure & Threat Detection Project, I built a virtualized environment with Wazuh, Splunk, Sysmon, Windows and Linux systems, and Kali Linux for security monitoring and threat analysis.

I configured pfSense firewall policies and Suricata IDS, then developed and tested custom detection rules by generating network traffic to validate alerts. I also investigated authentication logs, endpoint events, and IDS alerts for suspicious activity.

Through WiCyS Security Training Scholarship × SANS Technology Institute and Antisyphon Training, I gained hands-on practice in incident handling, vulnerability assessment, log analysis, memory forensics, and threat hunting.

I'm pursuing an MS in Cybersecurity and Information Assurance at Western Governors University and hold GIAC GCIH, GSEC, and CompTIA CySA+ certifications. I'm seeking opportunities in security operations, incident response, threat detection, or vulnerability management where I can contribute and continue growing.
