What I'm looking for

I’m seeking an entry-level SOC Analyst, IT Security Analyst, or Cybersecurity Analyst role.

I published a social engineering security awareness campaign on GitHub Pages as an educational resource and portfolio project.

My cybersecurity training includes the IBM Cybersecurity Analyst Professional Certificate and Macquarie University certifications in governance, risk management, and compliance. I’ve also trained with Cisco and Microsoft.

I’ve practiced threat intelligence, threat hunting, penetration testing, incident response, and digital forensics. My security frameworks include MITRE ATT&CK, NIST CSF, and STRIDE, and my lab tools include Kali Linux, Wireshark, Nmap, and Splunk.

At Halfik Services Limited, I coordinated daily labor and machinery allocation, tracked site expenses in Microsoft Excel, and prepared progress and administrative reports. I’m currently pursuing CompTIA Security+.
