What I'm looking for

I am seeking an entry-level Networking or SOC Analyst role where I can apply hands-on lab experience, learn from seasoned engineers, and grow into advanced network and security engineering responsibilities.

I am a motivated IT professional focused on networking and cybersecurity, with practical hands-on SOC analyst lab experience and foundational networking skills.

I have built and tested home networking environments, performed packet analysis with Wireshark, and conducted SIEM monitoring using Splunk and Elastic to detect suspicious events.

My background includes configuring routers, switches, VLANs, VPNs, and Windows Server roles in virtual labs, and I have basic familiarity with tools like Security Onion and CrowdStrike.

I bring strong customer-service experience, clear communication, and an eagerness to contribute in an entry-level Networking or SOC Analyst role while growing into advanced network and security engineering responsibilities.
