What I'm looking for

I seek hands-on SOC roles where I can apply incident response, threat hunting, and SIEM engineering, grow technical skills, and contribute to a collaborative security team.

I am a fourth-semester BS Cybersecurity student at COMSATS University Islamabad with practical SOC experience and a strong passion for digital security. I built and managed a virtual SOC lab, deployed and tuned Wazuh SIEM/XDR, integrated pfSense firewall and Suricata IDS/IPS, and executed malware incident simulations to strengthen detection and remediation capabilities.

I hold multiple industry certifications including CompTIA Security+, passed the ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity (CC) exam, and Google Professional Cyber Security courses. I focus on incident response, log analysis, threat hunting, and security monitoring, and I apply Python for log parsing and automation while maintaining familiarity with Java and C++.
