Profile

Final-year Cyber Security student with hands-on experience in SOC monitoring, SIEM-based threat detection, malware analysis, log investigation, and incident response — built through structured lab work on LetsDefend and TryHackMe rather than coursework alone.

My focus is the investigative side of security: reading a log or an alert carefully enough to judge whether it is noise or the start of an incident, then documenting the finding clearly enough that no one has to re-investigate it.

I am currently seeking a SOC Analyst or Cybersecurity Analyst role where I can apply that same discipline to protect enterprise infrastructure against evolving threats.
