What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a blue-team SOC role where I can use Splunk SIEM, SPL, and investigation workflows to strengthen threat detection, conduct threat hunting, and support incident response—while building deeper expertise in vulnerabilities, CVE monitoring, and risk management.

I’m an entry-level SOC Analyst with hands-on experience deploying Splunk Enterprise SIEM for threat detection, log analysis, and alert creation. I focus on turning security data into clear signals for investigation and response.

In my projects, I configured Splunk Enterprise with Universal Forwarder to collect Windows Event Logs for security monitoring. I built SPL searches to correlate failed (4625) and successful (4624) logon events, identifying brute-force patterns and potential account compromise.

I develop dashboards, real-time alerts, and investigation workflows that help streamline incident investigation. I’ve also conducted threat hunting on a simulated fintech attack dataset to detect TTPs, documenting threat indicators and mitigation advice.

I’m Fortinet-certified (FCA and FCF) and strongly interested in vulnerabilities, CVE monitoring, and risk management. I share my deployment steps, SPL queries, dashboards, and findings through technical documentation on GitHub.
