What I'm looking for

I'm seeking an entry-level cybersecurity role where I can investigate security events, support incident response, analyze threats, and continue building hands-on skills in SOC operations, digital forensics, and cloud security.

I'm building practical cybersecurity skills through TryHackMe SOC monitoring labs, where I use Splunk to investigate alerts, suspicious emails, network connections, and DNS activity and document case findings.

I've configured secure AWS environments using IAM, EC2, VPC, and EBS, and completed projects in phishing investigation, digital forensics, vulnerability assessment, and remediation recommendations.
