What I'm looking for

I'm seeking an opportunity to contribute within a fast-paced, 24/7 SOC environment.

Through TryHackMe SOC labs and self-directed practical work, I've investigated phishing emails, SMTP traffic, and VPN and authentication logs. I use Splunk and Elastic Stack (ELK) to analyze security events, triage alerts, and distinguish suspicious activity from benign events.

My investigations have included checking URLs, IP addresses, and file hashes with VirusTotal and AbuseIPDB, analyzing traffic in Wireshark, and mapping observed behavior to MITRE ATT&CK. I document evidence and timelines, assess risk, and escalate suspicious activity through SOC procedures.
