What I'm looking for

I'm looking for an entry-level SOC or cybersecurity role where I can investigate alerts, build detection skills, and gain hands-on blue-team experience remotely.

I built a Splunk SOC home lab that detects Nmap reconnaissance, SMB brute-force authentication, and encoded PowerShell execution through three custom detections mapped to MITRE ATT&CK. I also created an investigation dashboard and resolved Sysmon ingestion challenges by scripting a Windows Event Log export pipeline into Splunk.

I've completed SOC investigations, phishing-email forensics, web and network pentest simulations, and 30+ PortSwigger labs. My live Intigriti report on a broken access-control flaw was formally triaged, and I rank in TryHackMe's top 1% globally.
