What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on security role (SOC, pentest, appsec) where I can apply SIEM, detection engineering, and penetration-testing skills in a collaborative, learning-focused team.

I am a cybersecurity specialist with over six years of hands-on security practice and a Master of Computer Science, complemented by extensive lab experience and certifications including CompTIA Security+ and CEH.

I have built and managed SIEM environments (Splunk, Wazuh, ELK, Suricata), performed end-to-end web application and network penetration testing, and developed SOC playbooks and remediation reports from real-world lab engagements and vulnerable-app assessments.

Additionally, I bring 12+ years of algorithmic trading automation experience, strong automation and tooling skills (MQL4/5, Docker, Git), and a proven record of delivering detection rules, incident triage workflows, and secure application fixes.
