What I'm looking for

I seek SOC or security analyst roles where I can apply SIEM, threat-hunting, and automation skills, learn from experienced teams, and contribute to detection and incident response.

I am an entry-level Security Analyst with hands-on experience in SIEM platforms (Splunk, Elastic Stack), log analysis, threat detection, and incident response, combined with a development background in Python, JavaScript, and TypeScript that supports security automation.

I have completed 118+ TryHackMe rooms (Wizard rank, Top 3%), Google Cybersecurity Professional Certificate, and practical labs in malware analysis, network forensics, and KC7 threat-hunting challenges, demonstrating strong practical SOC skills and persistence solving CTF-style problems.

I bring a disciplined, analytical mindset from a PharmD background, proven incident response experience (triage, containment, recovery), and the flexibility to work 24/7 SOC rotations while building detection rules, automation scripts, and improving security posture.
