@sanuser
Cybersecurity professional specializing in SOC, penetration testing, and threat detection.
What I'm looking for
I am a cybersecurity-focused computer science undergraduate with hands-on experience in SOC operations, penetration testing, and threat hunting. I have reduced false positives and improved detection and response through SIEM, SOAR, and automated monitoring.
I have conducted vulnerability assessments and penetration tests using Nessus, Metasploit, Nmap, Burp Suite, and Kali Linux, delivering detailed risk analyses and remediation strategies to strengthen client security postures.
My projects include building a neural-network intrusion detection system, a phishing detection tool with over 95% accuracy using NLP, and a cryptocurrency investigation tool leveraging graph analytics and data visualization.
I founded and lead a 50-member book club to promote collaborative learning, and I hold certifications in machine learning, deep learning, IoT, ethical hacking/digital forensics, and cloud readiness that complement my technical skill set.
