@uhuegbuosinachi
Certified cybersecurity analyst skilled in SOC monitoring and incident response.
What I'm looking for
I am a certified cybersecurity professional with hands-on experience in SOC monitoring, incident detection, and vulnerability management, backed by CompTIA Security+ and the Google Cybersecurity Professional Certificate. I work with SIEM and IDS tools such as Splunk, Suricata, and Wireshark to analyze alerts and reduce false positives.
I have practical experience analyzing large-scale network logs, participating in red/blue team exercises, and leading student project teams that delivered results ahead of schedule. My projects include reducing phishing click rates, flagging critical incidents, and identifying vulnerabilities that improved network resilience.
I am collaborative, detail-oriented, and committed to continuous learning, with foundational skills in Python, Linux, SQL, networking, and threat intelligence analysis. I seek to contribute to a dynamic SOC environment where I can further develop incident response and threat-hunting capabilities.
