Cyber Security Professional with a focus on blue teaming skills.

What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth and collaboration in cybersecurity.

As a dedicated Cyber Security Professional, I am actively seeking opportunities to leverage my skills in blue teaming and incident response. My journey in cybersecurity has been enriched by hands-on experiences and certifications, including the ISC2 Certified in Cyber Security and a Junior Cyber Security Analyst career path through Cisco Skills for All. I am committed to continuous learning and development in this dynamic field.

My practical experience includes configuring Elastic Stack SIEM in a home lab, conducting traffic analysis with Wireshark, and generating detailed incident reports. I have successfully created custom dashboards for visualizing security events and developed alert rules for effective incident response. My internships with leading organizations like Mastercard and AIG have further honed my skills in threat detection and risk assessment, allowing me to contribute to enhancing organizational cybersecurity postures.

With a strong foundation in technical skills and a passion for cybersecurity, I am eager to contribute to a forward-thinking organization that values innovation and proactive security measures. I am particularly interested in roles that allow me to apply my analytical skills and collaborate with teams to improve security protocols and incident management.
