What I'm looking for

I'm looking to grow in complex cybersecurity environments where I can build detection capabilities, investigate logs, improve SOC operations, and apply hands-on offensive and defensive security skills.

I've built machine-learning log anomaly detection at UPE/CNPq, processing more than 500,000 logs and improving malicious-behavior detection by 10% for SIEM and SOC contexts.

I also designed a portable personal SOC lab on a bare-metal ParrotOS SSD, connecting pfSense, Suricata, Wazuh in a Docker cluster, and a Cowrie SSH honeypot into one alert flow. I created custom Wazuh decoders and rules, reduced duplicate and false-critical alerts, and simulated brute-force and malicious-command attacks to validate incident response.

Alongside security work, I've delivered RESTful APIs with JavaScript, TypeScript, Prisma, and Vue.js at Poli Junior Engenharia, and deployed a Debian and Bacula backup server for UPE's IT division.
