What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a Junior SOC Analyst (L1), Incident Response Specialist, or IT Technical Support Engineer role where I can apply incident investigation, log analysis, network security, and operational control experience.

I've managed access-control workflows for 90+ personnel at Mansilla e Hijos S.A., investigated operational incidents, and produced root-cause reports to prevent recurring failures. My 18-year background in risk management and auditing brings rigorous operational discipline to security work.

As an independent IT systems support and network specialist, I've deployed Windows and Linux workstations, configured small-office networks, and handled malware isolation, patching, and troubleshooting. I'm Google Cybersecurity Professional Certificate certified and use Wireshark, Nmap, Python, Bash, SQL, and Linux CLI for detection and analysis.
