Message

At Restorative Support Services, I monitor and investigate security alerts across networks, endpoints and information systems. I handle incident detection, triage, containment and remediation, and administer security controls including SIEM, EDR, firewalls and MFA.

At Space Block Technology, I monitored enterprise security events and conducted vulnerability assessments and hands-on penetration testing. My work included testing Active Directory for misconfigurations, reviewing firewall rules and prioritising Nessus findings using CVSS scores.

Earlier, I conducted threat and vulnerability analysis at Space Block Technology and supported remediation, patch management and compliance audits. I also built a Splunk/Wazuh SOC lab for log collection, SIEM dashboarding, detection-rule development and threat hunting.
