What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a SOC Analyst role where I can apply my skills in security monitoring and incident response.

I built a Wazuh SIEM home lab using Ubuntu, configured a Windows 11 endpoint agent for centralized log collection, and analyzed alerts and log data.

In my Wazuh labs, I simulated brute-force login attempts and other security events, investigated authentication activity, and mapped findings to MITRE ATT&CK techniques. I documented incident analysis and evidence in GitHub.

I'm CompTIA Security+ certified and seeking a SOC Analyst role where I can apply my skills in security monitoring and incident response. As a Private Investigator at Morrison Investigations, I conducted surveillance, identified suspicious activity through pattern analysis, and documented findings.
