What I'm looking for

I seek an entry-level SOC or detection role where I can apply detection engineering, threat hunting, and incident response skills within a collaborative team that values learning and automation.

I am a CompTIA Security+ certified cybersecurity analyst focused on detection engineering, threat detection, and incident response. I build and validate SIEM detections in Splunk, leverage Windows Event Logs and Sysmon, and use CrowdStrike Falcon and enrichment tools to strengthen enterprise defenses.

I have hands-on project experience creating detections for Office-to-PowerShell abuse, credential dumping, and DNS tunneling, plus SOC ticket and IR workflow simulations. My background in machine learning and data science helps me apply behavioral analytics and automation to improve threat hunting and anomalous activity detection.
