What I'm looking for

I’m looking to transition into a dedicated SOC Analyst role where I can apply hands-on SIEM monitoring, threat detection, incident response, MITRE ATT&CK mapping, and fintech security operations experience.

I detect vishing, social engineering, and fraud patterns for Ubiquity GS’s US fintech partners, executing account blocking and escalation as immediate containment.

I investigate suspicious activity, document incidents for compliance and post-incident review, and escalate complex security and infrastructure issues to Tier-2 engineering teams. I support high-demand bilingual operations while maintaining strong FCR and CSAT performance.

I built a fully operational SOC homelab using Wazuh, Suricata, pfSense, Active Directory, Sysmon, and VirtualBox. I created segmented network zones and integrated SIEM, IDS, endpoint telemetry, and real-time alert visibility.

I run full kill-chain simulations, preserve SHA256-verified evidence, block malicious IPs, and write incident reports mapped to MITRE ATT&CK. I’m transitioning into a dedicated SOC Analyst role.
