What I'm looking for

I'm seeking an entry-level SOC Analyst, Junior Cybersecurity Analyst, Security Operations, MDR, or Blue Team role.

At Teckube, I supported cybersecurity operations by monitoring security events and assisting with SIEM alert triage. I analyzed Windows and Linux logs and endpoint and network alerts to support threat detection and incident investigations.

In my independent security research, I designed and maintained a cybersecurity homelab using Wazuh, Sysmon, Snort, Nessus, and virtualized Windows and Linux systems. I simulated attacks, investigated telemetry, and mapped findings to MITRE ATT&CK.

I also built a Splunk Enterprise investigation lab, developing SPL searches for authentication activity, failed SSH attempts, and Windows process execution. I documented detection logic, investigation findings, and security reports in my public GitHub portfolio.
