What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role in a collaborative environment that values continuous learning and innovation in cybersecurity.

I am a motivated and detail-oriented SOC Analyst with a strong foundational knowledge in cybersecurity principles, threat detection, and incident response. My training includes the use of SIEM tools such as Splunk for real-time monitoring and alert analysis. I have hands-on experience gained through internships and labs in threat hunting, vulnerability management, and cloud security tools.

Throughout my career, I have successfully integrated diverse log sources into Splunk, developed custom correlation searches, and created interactive dashboards to enhance system visibility and decision-making. My projects, including incident response simulations and malware traffic analysis, have equipped me with the skills to identify potential security threats and escalate incidents effectively. I am eager to contribute to a dynamic security team by applying my analytical thinking and commitment to continuous learning.
