What I'm looking for

I am looking for SOC/incident response roles where I can apply threat intelligence and forensics skills, learn from experienced teams, and advance in defensive security.

I am an undergraduate Bachelor of Computer Science (Cybersecurity) student with hands-on Tier 1 SOC analysis experience and strong academic standing (GPA 3.45). I have practical experience analyzing network traffic, performing memory forensics, extracting Android artifacts, and using OSINT and sandboxing tools to investigate malware and malicious URLs.

I hold Cisco introductory cybersecurity and network basics certifications, contributed to student councils, and earned academic merit scholarships. I seek to apply my technical skills in SOC or incident response roles while continuing to grow in threat intelligence and defensive security practices.
