What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a SOC/cybersecurity team where I can triage alerts, perform vulnerability assessments and phishing analysis, and turn findings into clear, actionable recommendations—while continuously improving detection and response workflows.

I’m a Cybersecurity Analyst/SOC Analyst candidate with hands-on training in SOC workflows, vulnerability assessment, phishing simulation, SIEM-style log analysis, alert triage, network traffic analysis, and incident response reporting.

I’ve built practical capability with Nessus, Nmap, Burp Suite, GoPhish, Wireshark, Linux, and AWS lab environments. I conduct vulnerability assessments, analyze scan results with risk ratings, prioritize findings, and produce remediation recommendations based on severity and business impact.

In my training projects, I investigate suspicious activity by performing SIEM-style log analysis and producing escalation-ready findings. I also use Wireshark to identify anomalous network patterns and possible indicators of compromise or data exfiltration.

I bring 8+ years of operations leadership, risk management, process improvement, vendor coordination, documentation, and escalation experience. I translate technical findings into clear recommendations for both technical and non-technical stakeholders, including executive-level summaries aligned to NIST CSF.
