Data Analyst & cyber security student delivering dashboards and structured insights from complex datasets.
What I'm looking for
I’m a cyber security undergraduate focused on data analysis, structured reporting, and dashboard development. I help teams turn complex datasets into clear insights they can act on.
I’m proficient in SQL across MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Microsoft SQL Server, using it to query, filter, and extract meaningful information. I’ve built analytical dashboards in Splunk to track KPIs and operational metrics, and I’m extending my dashboard work with Power BI through self-directed learning.
In my projects, I translate investigation needs into repeatable reporting: SentinelOps work included engineering custom Splunk detection rules and documenting evidence logs to reconstruct incident timelines. I also created identity security and risk management reporting, plus an AI-powered web vulnerability scanner with prioritized remediation outputs.
I communicate clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders and keep documentation audit-ready. I’m comfortable working remotely and on night shifts, and I’m seeking an Analyst role to support international client operations with strong analysis and reporting.
