I have completed the Google Cybersecurity Certificate (9-course specialization), where I gained practical exposure to SIEM concepts, security frameworks, risk management, and investigation workflows.To strengthen my real-world skills, I have completed 40+ hands-on labs on TryHackMe, primarily focused on SOC operations, including:Analyzing security alertsInvestigating suspicious login attempts and brute-force activityLog analysis and correlationIdentifying true positives vs false positivesUnderstanding escalation workflows (SOC L1 → L2)I am comfortable working with Linux, SQL, and SIEM-based analysis, and I understand how a SOC analyst investigates alerts by reviewing logs, correlating events, analyzing IP behavior, and documenting incidents.Beyond technical skills, my experience as a freelance gym trainer has helped me develop strong communication, teamwork, discipline, and responsibility, which are essential for working in a real SOC environment. Career Goal:To start my career as a SOC Analyst / Cybersecurity Analyst Intern, where I can contribute to monitoring, detecting, and responding to security threats while continuously improving my technical and analytical skills.
