I am a SOC L1 / Security Analyst with strong networking fundamentals and hands-on experience in enterprise network monitoring, firewall and VPN security, and incident triage. I bring practical exposure to SIEM monitoring, alert analysis, documentation, and escalation within SOC workflows.

I am familiar with OWASP Top 10 risks, the MITRE ATT&CK framework, and current cybersecurity threat trends including phishing, malware, ransomware, and credential-based attacks. I use tools such as Wireshark, SolarWinds, and PRTG to analyze traffic and identify anomalies.

In my current role as Network Associate, I monitor enterprise network traffic, analyze packet captures, implement firewall and VPN configurations, and perform initial security alert triage. I maintain SOC logs and documentation while identifying indicators of phishing, malware, and brute-force activity.

I hold CompTIA Security+, a CCNA (valid till Jul 2026), and training in MITRE ATT&CK and Splunk topics. I am driven to strengthen detection and response capabilities and to grow within security operations roles.
