What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters professional growth, values collaboration, and offers opportunities to tackle complex cybersecurity challenges.

I am a motivated and detail-oriented Security Analyst with over 2 years of experience in Security Operations Centers (SOCs). My expertise lies in threat monitoring, incident triage, and proactive threat hunting. I excel in leveraging security platforms and network fundamentals to identify and mitigate cyber threats in real-time, ensuring the safety and integrity of organizational data.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a strong ability to communicate effectively with clients and escalate critical incidents with precision. My commitment to professional growth is evident in my solid foundation in industry frameworks and tools, including MITRE ATT&CK, EDR, IDS/IPS, and scripting languages like Python and PowerShell. I have been recognized for my strong communication skills, team collaboration, and adaptability in shift-based security operations.
