What I'm looking for

I’m interested in SOC Analyst, Junior Cybersecurity Analyst, Security Operations, Threat Detection, and Security Automation roles where I can apply my practical training and continue developing professionally.

At Independent Security Lab & Projects, I practice security monitoring, log analysis, and basic detection logic in hands-on cybersecurity labs. I use Kali Linux, Linux, Windows, and VirtualBox in controlled testing environments.

In my SIEM Security Monitoring Lab at Splunk, I ingested security logs, investigated simulated alerts, and created basic detection queries. I also mapped observed behaviors to MITRE ATT&CK techniques.

On Independent Security Projects, I configured a virtual lab and practiced network reconnaissance and Nmap-based service enumeration. I documented procedures and findings from testing in isolated, intentionally vulnerable environments.

As a self-employed freelancer, I create social media content and promotional graphics using Canva and CorelDRAW. I’m also developing skills in Python, PowerShell, AI-assisted security workflows, and cloud security.
