I am developing hands-on experience in security monitoring, alert investigation, phishing analysis, SIEM, incident response, Linux, SQL, and Python—while leveraging my software development background to better understand modern systems and applications.
I am an aspiring SOC Analyst and cybersecurity professional developing hands-on skills in security monitoring, alert investigation, phishing analysis, incident response, and incident documentation.
My current SOC investigation work uses Splunk, VirusTotal, and TryHackMe, supported by Linux, SQL, and Python. A full-stack development background gives me an additional advantage: I understand how applications, APIs, databases, and user-facing systems are built—and where security failures can emerge.
My goal is to contribute as a Cybersecurity Analyst or SOC Analyst, applying disciplined investigation, clear documentation, and a strong systems mindset.
