## About

```text
I've built and managed an AI-powered Security Operations Center at Cyberpedia, delivering SOC as a Service for clients across multiple sectors.

I design secure network architectures with pfSense, OpenVPN, and HAProxy, and harden Linux, Windows, web applications, Docker images, and cloud environments on AWS.

In a confidential government-sector role, I designed segmented IoT communications, implemented device identity through Step-CA and mTLS, and secured EMQX MQTT with certificate enforcement and topic-level ACLs.

I also perform penetration testing, investigate security alerts, support incident response, and provide clear remediation guidance backed by PoCs and root-cause analysis.
