What I'm looking for

I'm seeking an entry-level SOC or malware analysis role where I can apply threat-hunting, incident-response, and reverse-engineering skills; join a collaborative team with mentorship, hands-on incident handling, and opportunities to build detection and automation tooling.

I am a motivated cybersecurity engineer and SOC analyst-in-training focused on hands-on threat detection and incident response. I bring practical experience building detection platforms and automation that reduce manual triage time.

During a recent internship I designed and deployed a cyber-attack mitigation platform that cut manual detection and triage time by 40% and built a Docker-based honeypot capturing 500+ malicious requests per month. I also conducted targeted penetration testing that identified and helped remediate 12+ critical vulnerabilities.

I built an isolated malware analysis lab using Remnux and Flare VM to reverse-engineer notable samples like SectopRAT and LummaStealer, and configured Wazuh SIEM for real-time detection to improve incident response. My projects include honeypot deployment, EDR home lab configuration, and network packet analysis published as technical write-ups.

I am a continual learner with certifications in ethical hacking, OSINT, and malware development, and I seek roles where I can contribute to proactive threat hunting, hardened detections, and automated SOC workflows while growing under mentorship.
