What I'm looking for

I’m looking to grow into a cloud security engineering role where I can run SOC operations, deploy and optimize SIEM (Wazuh), triage alerts, and improve incident response with strong reporting, documentation, and cloud observability.

I’m a cybersecurity consultant with hands-on experience in SOC operations, SIEM deployment, and security event monitoring. I work across cloud and on-premises environments, using Wazuh SIEM for threat detection, alert triage, log analysis, and incident response.

In my current role as a SOC Analyst / Cybersecurity Consultant, I deploy and configure Wazuh SIEM, manage agent deployment and log ingestion, and continuously monitor endpoints for security events. I produce independent SecOps reports with threat detection findings, alert severity, and remediation recommendations—along with internal documentation that standardizes the security reporting methodology.

I’m also actively building toward a cloud security engineering role at the intersection of security operations and cloud infrastructure. With three OCI 2025 certifications and a Cisco CyberOps credential, I focus on cloud security, cloud infrastructure architecture, and observability.
