Simulated real-world cybersecurity scenarios focusing on incident response, threat detection, and user awareness. Investigated anomalies, IoCs, and unauthorized access via behavioral and log analysis of web activity. Compiled structured reports to inform post-incident risk mitigation.

Deployed and configured Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (MDE) with integration to Microsoft Sentinel and Splunk for centralized SIEM monitoring and automated alerts. Investigated incidents using MDE, Sentinel, and Sysinternals Suite, leveraging threat intelligence and correlation for real-time SOC response.

Gained hands-on experience in IT administration and secure cloud communication by deploying virtual machines, configuring routing, and managing secure network connectivity in Azure Cloud. Strengthened cybersecurity posture by deploying and configuring FortiGate NGFW with IPS policies, supporting structured threat detection and secure system design.

Built a cost-efficient SOC automation lab using Wazuh (SIEM) and TheHive (incident response platform); automated workflows to enhance detection, analysis, and compliance. Integrated Wazuh with custom rules for real-time correlation; configured TheHive with telemetry (Sysmon, Windows 10) for automated incident management.

Coursework included Digital Electronics, Communication Systems, Embedded Systems, Microprocessors, and Signal Processing. Gained foundational knowledge in electronic and telecommunication principles.
