About Me

I am a CompTIA Security+ certified cybersecurity analyst focused on SIEM monitoring, detection engineering, and security auditing. I work hands-on with Splunk to analyze authentication, firewall, and system logs to uncover brute-force attempts, anomalous behavior, and indicators of compromise aligned with real SOC workflows.

Built and tuned Splunk dashboards, alerts, and SPL queries to reduce mean time to detect (MTTD) in lab simulations
Performed security audits to identify misconfigurations, open ports, and insecure services using structured checks
Designed firewall-secured network labs with rule reviews, segmentation, and attack testing
Applied CIS Benchmarks and NIST CSF principles for hardening and risk reduction
Experienced in alert triage, log correlation, and incident documentation similar to SOC operations

Projects

Splunk SIEM Log Analysis

Built dashboards to detect brute force, failed logins, and suspicious traffic. Created detection queries and analyzed real log data.

Security Audit Tool

Developed a tool that scans misconfigurations, open ports, and insecure settings. Generates detailed audit reports for SOC use.

Firewall & Network Security Lab

Designed secure network topology and implemented firewall rules to block malicious traffic. Tested attacks in lab environment.

Phishing Email Detection

Analyzed and detected phishing attempts using custom detection techniques and pattern recognition. Improved SOC incident detection.
