About

Physics graduate transitioning into Cybersecurity with a focus on Security Operations Center (SOC) functions. I leverage a strong analytical background to bridge the gap between complex data interpretation and proactive threat detection. 🛡️ Technical Focus: SOC Operations: Hands-on experience with Centralized Logging (rsyslog), log management, and real-time monitoring. Possess foundational knowledge of Ethical Hacking and offensive tactics, which helps in anticipating attacker behavior and strengthening defensive monitoring. Network Forensics: Proficient in packet analysis using Wireshark to identify stealthy C2 channels and network anomalies. Research: Published researcher in "Pre-Deployment Predictive and Analytical Modeling of AI-Enhanced IDS/IPS," focusing on system-level performance under load. 🛠️ Tools & Frameworks: > Python (Security Scripting), MySQL, Linux (Ubuntu/Kali), Wireshark, Syslog, and the MITRE ATT&CK Framework. I am actively seeking an internship or junior role in a SOC environment where I can apply my investigative mindset and technical skills to protect enterprise infrastructure.
