What I'm looking for

I'm interested in threat detection, incident analysis, and strengthening organizational security.

In my Brute Force Analysis and Detection Using Splunk project, I investigated suspected brute-force login activity with Splunk and Windows Security Event Logs, examining repeated failed logins, targeted accounts, and source network addresses.

I also deployed Suricata on Ubuntu Linux and analyzed generated network traffic with Kali Linux and Wireshark. As an IT Intern at ASALS and Regional Development, I gained experience in basic networking, system administration, and IT support workflows.
