About Me

I’m a Cybersecurity student at IT Park University with a strong interest in Security Operations, Blue Team practices and defensive security.

My current goal is to become a Junior SOC Analyst and build the practical skills required to detect, investigate and respond to security incidents.

I’m developing hands-on experience with SIEM, Linux, networking, SQL, Python, log analysis and incident response. I also practice through CTF competitions, PortSwigger Web Security Academy, TryHackMe, Hack The Box and other hands-on cybersecurity platforms.

My approach is simple: learn the fundamentals, practice them, document what I learn, and continuously improve.

I’m particularly interested in how security incidents are detected, investigated and handled in real-world environments. I also study offensive security because understanding attacker techniques helps build better defensive thinking.
