About Me

I am a security-focused IT professional transitioning into a SOC Analyst role. With over 3 years of experience supporting federal and enterprise systems, I specialize in incident triage, network troubleshooting, and access management.

Currently, I am leveling up my detection engineering skills by building and breaking my own home lab, deploying SIEMs (Wazuh), and simulating attacks to write better detection rules.
