What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an entry-level cybersecurity role where I can strengthen SOC alert triage and incident investigation, then grow into web application penetration testing through practical, mentorship-driven security work.

I’m an aspiring Cybersecurity Analyst with hands-on experience in Security Operations Center (SOC) workflows, including alert triage, log correlation, and incident investigation. I focus on turning suspicious signals into clear, actionable findings for escalation.

In my projects, I investigated a SIEM alert tied to unauthorized crypto-mining activity (cudominer.exe), reviewed system behavior through log analysis, and mapped attacker behavior to the MITRE ATT&CK framework. I also simulated Tier 1 SOC responsibilities by classifying alerts, differentiating false positives from true threats, and producing structured incident reports aligned with SOC operational standards.

While strengthening my defensive foundation, I’m transitioning into offensive security with an emphasis on web application security and penetration testing. I’m building practical knowledge of XSS, SQL Injection concepts, and HTTP request/response behavior, with a strong drive toward threat detection and vulnerability discovery.
