What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a cybersecurity role where I can investigate SIEM alerts, analyze endpoint and network logs, support incident response, and continue building hands-on expertise in threat detection, forensics, vulnerability management, and SOC operations.

At Cloud Axiom, I monitor Splunk alerts, investigate authentication failures and abnormal network traffic, and correlate Windows, endpoint, and network logs to support incident response.

I've built hands-on SOC labs for Splunk and Wazuh brute-force detection, created dashboards and alerts, and mapped suspicious activity to MITRE ATT&CK. I also perform vulnerability scanning with Nmap and recommend remediation based on identified risks.

As a graduate teaching assistant at UNC Charlotte, I support digital forensic investigations using FTK Imager, Autopsy, and Registry Explorer. My work spans Windows forensics, malware analysis, network traffic analysis, and secure cloud and network configurations.
