I investigate threats, analyze security logs, and strengthen SOC detection and incident response workflows.

What I'm looking for

I'm looking to grow in SOC operations, threat detection, incident response, detection engineering, cloud security, and security automation through hands-on work and mentorship.

I've built hands-on SOC experience through TryHackMe, Cyber Academy, HSC CONSULT, and Next Path Ghana, investigating simulated attacks, analyzing logs, triaging alerts, and supporting threat-hunting workflows.

At Cyber Academy, I deployed and administered a full Wazuh SIEM environment for centralized log collection and endpoint monitoring. At HSC CONSULT, I investigated attacker behaviors, performed endpoint and memory forensics with Volatility, reviewed cloud audit logs, and supported SOAR-driven incident-response operations.

I'm pursuing a Computer Science degree with a Cybersecurity option at GCTU while developing detection engineering, cloud security, and security automation skills through practical labs and research.
