What I'm looking for
I am a self-driven and technically skilled Security Analyst with hands-on experience in building advanced cybersecurity infrastructure from the ground up.

I have demonstrated my strength in network traffic analysis, threat intelligence, and incident response, achieving a top 3% global ranking on TryHackMe. My proficiency in log analysis, rule customization, and integrating threat feeds enables me to deliver real-world detection capabilities.
Passionate about proactive defense and threat hunting, I have a solid foundation in MITRE ATT&CK and continuously upskill through hands-on labs. My key projects include deploying a full SOC lab, developing custom detection rules, and conducting malicious traffic analysis. I have also gained valuable experience as a Bug Bounty Researcher, where I practiced ethical hacking techniques and enhanced my understanding of common attack vectors.
