What I'm looking for

I seek a defensive-security role where I can perform threat monitoring, incident response, vulnerability assessments, and grow within a collaborative SOC-focused team.

I am a Cybersecurity Analyst with hands-on experience in defensive security, incident response, and vulnerability assessment. I have worked monitoring and triaging threats, deploying security tools, and producing security advisories to improve organizational posture.

My background includes roles in ICT support and computer technician positions where I managed general ICT tickets, set up computers, servers and networks, and maintained Windows and Linux environments. I have familiarity with SIEMs, firewalls, and basic penetration testing.

I hold a Master of IT (Cybersecurity) and a Bachelor of IT (System Administration), and I have performed vulnerability assessments and initiated incident response activities while supporting operational security functions.

I bring a practical, hands-on approach to security operations, a focus on defensive controls, and a commitment to continuous learning and improving security processes.
