I’m a Cybersecurity Analyst with hands-on experience building a SOC home lab for network traffic analysis, log monitoring, and attack simulation. I focus on threat analysis, incident investigation, and security documentation to strengthen real-world detection and response.

In my analyst experience, I evaluated 10,000+ prompts and responses against security and compliance guidelines, ensuring 100% adherence to project standards. I performed anomaly and pattern analysis on large datasets and reviewed 500+ AI-generated responses daily to maintain 98%+ quality accuracy.

To sharpen my SOC workflow, I built a virtual SOC home lab using VirtualBox, Wireshark, tcpdump, and pfSense. I captured and analyzed 2,000+ network packets, identifying 50+ simulated reconnaissance attempts, failed SSH logins, and suspicious network activities to practice incident investigation and log analysis.

I’m CompTIA Security+ certified and a Google Cybersecurity Professional Certificate holder, and I’m seeking an entry-level SOC Analyst position. I want to collaborate in a structured environment where I can continuously improve network monitoring, incident triage, and investigative consistency.
