Professional Summary

Built to show applied security operations skills, not just tool familiarity.

This site documents a complete SOC lab designed around the same core workflow used by real analysts: collect data, validate alerts, investigate suspicious activity, assess impact, and communicate findings clearly.

The environment includes a dedicated SIEM, monitored endpoints, a Linux server, and an attacker machine to produce realistic security events across multiple operating systems.

“The goal is not to say I installed a tool. The goal is to prove I can detect activity, investigate evidence, and explain what happened.”
