What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead threat detection efforts, automate SOC processes, work with modern SIEMs and cloud environments, and help teams improve security posture while growing technically.

I am an experienced CSOC Analyst and Threat Detection Engineer specializing in SIEM-based monitoring, threat hunting, and incident response. I have implemented and tuned detection rules, built dashboards in Kibana/OpenSearch, and automated detection processes using Python to reduce false positives and accelerate response.

My background includes building cyber ranges in AWS, performing CTI and penetration testing support, and deploying security tooling such as Wazuh, Splunk, Sentinel One, CrowdStrike, Logstash, and Filebeat. I am committed to improving clients' security posture through clear communication, actionable CTI reports, and hands-on technical solutions.
