Results-driven Cyber Security Professional with a Master’s in Information Security from Royal Holloway, University of London, specializing in Security Operations (SOC), SIEM implementation (Splunk, Wazuh, ELK), and SOC automation. I’m passionate about building secure digital environments through proactive threat detection, incident response, and continuous security improvement. With hands-on experience in configuring SIEM solutions, automating SOC workflows, and simulating real-world cyber threats, I focus on practical, results-oriented security measures. Core Competencies: 1 - Security Operations & SIEM: Implementing and managing Splunk, ELK Stack, Wazuh to improve threat detection and response efficiency. 2 - Incident Response & Automation: Automating incident workflows with SOAR tools like Shuffle.io, reducing response times and improving operational efficiency. 3 - Threat Detection & Analysis: Developing custom detection rules, simulating advanced threats (C2, brute-force, credential theft), and fine-tuning alert mechanisms. 4 - Vulnerability Assessment: Conducting penetration tests, OSINT gathering, and vulnerability scans to identify and mitigate security risks. I believe effective cybersecurity is not just about responding to threats—it\'s about anticipating risks, automating defenses, and continuously evolving with the threat landscape. I bring a combination of technical expertise, analytical thinking, and a strong focus on delivering measurable security improvements. I’m eager to contribute my skills to organizations looking to strengthen their security posture and stay ahead of evolving cyber threats.
