Cybersecurity undergraduate and practicing SOC Analyst with hands-on operational experience in SIEM/SOAR-driven threat detection, threat hunting, and Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI). Currently engaged as a Cybersecurity Intern at NCINGA, where responsibilities include the design and tuning of custom SIEM correlation rules and the automation of incident response workflows to reduce mean time to detect (MTTD) and mean time to respond (MTTR).
Working knowledge spans multi-cloud security architecture (Azure, OCI, GCP), network perimeter defense (Check Point, FortiGate), and Linux system hardening, underpinned by formal training toward Microsoft, Fortinet, and Cisco security certifications. Actively expanding cloud and applied-AI competencies through the Google Developer Program (GEAR) and the Google Cloud Arcade Facilitator Program.
Beyond the technical remit, brings demonstrated leadership and stakeholder-management capability. Evidenced by tenure as Head Prefect and Volunteer Instructor and operates as an ENFJ-A, a profile associated with structured communication, team coordination, and cross-functional collaboration, all directly transferable to SOC shift-handover discipline and incident-response coordination.

| Objective | Deliver reliable log ingestion and correlation for environments with no external connectivity, where standard cloud-fed threat intelligence is unavailable. |
| Approach | Designed an isolated collection and forwarding pipeline with local correlation logic, preserving detection capability without external dependency on internet-facing feeds. |
| Relevance | Directly applicable to regulated, classified, or OT/ICS environments where air-gapping is a compliance mandate rather than a design preference. |
| Tags | SIEM Log Pipeline Engineering Isolated Network Architecture Detection Engineering |
| Objective | Establish a repeatable, benchmarked hardening baseline for Linux hosts. |
| Approach | Implemented kernel-level auditing via Auditd for granular system-event capture, paired with Lynis for automated security scoring and CIS-aligned compliance assessment. |
| Relevance | Supports audit-readiness and demonstrates a measurable, standards-aligned approach to endpoint hardening — a core expectation for SOC and infrastructure security roles. |
| Tags | Linux Hardening Auditd Lynis CIS Benchmarks Compliance |
| Objective | Architect a resilient CI/CD platform with security controls embedded at the pipeline level (DevSecOps). |
| Approach | Built for high availability across cloud infrastructure using fault-tolerant deployment patterns and integrated security gating at each release stage. |
| Relevance | Demonstrates the ability to balance delivery velocity with security governance - a critical skill set as organizations shift security left in the SDLC. |
