What I'm looking for

I'm looking for remote or international cybersecurity roles where I can investigate security events, support incident response, strengthen SOC operations, and grow my practical security analysis experience.

I've investigated SIEM alerts and authentication logs to identify brute-force attempts, successful compromises, privileged-account activity, and sensitive file exposure. I document findings, extract indicators of compromise, and escalate incidents with clear recommendations.

I've also developed a NIST SP 800-61-aligned incident response playbook covering detection, containment, escalation, and post-incident review. My work combines SOC operations with risk-aware governance, audit readiness, and communication of technical findings to management.
