About
Security+ certified SOC Analyst with a hands-on, build-it-yourself approach to detection engineering. Ranked in the Top 2% on TryHackMe (132 rooms, 30 badges, SOC Level 1 path completed) and built a full Home SOC Lab from scratch — multi-VM purple team environment with Wazuh SIEM, Sysmon, custom detection rules mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, and Atomic Red Team attack simulations with documented incident reports. I don't just study threats — I simulate, detect, and document them. Looking to bring that same energy to a SOC or detection engineering team where curiosity and initiative are valued. Open to hybrid, on-site, or remote roles — ready to start immediately.
