Cybersecurity Portfolio

This site showcases hands-on cybersecurity projects focused on threat detection, incident investigation, and security automation. I design and document practical lab environments that simulate real-world attack scenarios, emphasizing how alerts are generated, analyzed, and remediated.

My work is aligned with SOC Analyst and Junior Security Engineer responsibilities, including SIEM alert analysis, SOAR-driven enrichment, application security testing, and clear technical documentation.

About Me

I am a cybersecurity professional transitioning into a full-time security operations role, with a background in technical problem-solving and operational leadership. I focus on building and analyzing security labs that mirror enterprise environments, using tools such as SIEMs, SOAR platforms, and endpoint telemetry to investigate realistic attack scenarios.

My projects emphasize clear detection logic, structured investigation workflows, and documentation that mirrors how incidents are handled in professional SOC environments. This portfolio reflects my commitment to continuous learning and my goal of contributing as a SOC Analyst or Junior Security Engineer.
