I've investigated simulated phishing-based PowerShell intrusions, reconstructed attack timelines from Sysmon and Splunk logs, and documented remediation in formal incident reports.

I build Splunk correlation searches and alerts for threat detection, tuning rules to reduce false positives while balancing alert sensitivity and analyst workload. I've also analyzed reverse shells and C2 beaconing in Wireshark and correlated packet-level evidence with network logs.

My hands-on SOC training includes the TryHackMe SOC Analyst 1 Path and Google Cybersecurity Professional Certificate, covering log analysis, SIEM investigations, incident response, network security, Python, and MITRE ATT&CK-based detection.

Before moving into cybersecurity, I supported infrastructure compliance at EDGE2 Engineering Solutions by completing 850+ material quality tests, producing weekly Excel-based reports, and maintaining accurate logs with a three-member team.
