What I'm looking for

I'm looking for hands-on cybersecurity work where I can build and improve detection, response, and infrastructure systems while continuing to learn from experienced security teams.

I built and operated security systems as the sole security and IT person at Delta System, supporting 10+ endpoints and 7+ client environments. I rewrote Wazuh correlation rules to reduce false positives by about 70% across 500 to 1,000 weekly alerts.

I build hands-on SOC labs and tooling, including ShadowTwin, a Go-based agent that triages Wazuh alerts with local LLM inference and threat intelligence from NVD, CISA KEV, and MITRE ATT&CK. I’ve also built hybrid Active Directory detection labs, automated SOAR workflows, and a self-hosted security stack on Proxmox.

I’m currently pursuing an MSc in Cybersecurity at EIT Digital Master School in the Netherlands. I bring practical experience across SIEM operations, detection engineering, Linux infrastructure, penetration testing, and Python, Bash, Go, and C# development.
