#About Me
Cybersecurity student focused on SOC workflows, SIEM monitoring, and security automation through hands-on labs. Security+ certified and building job-ready projects around alert triage, detection tuning, and incident response playbooks.
I’m building everything with clean documentation so recruiters can quickly see what I did, what I detected, how I validated it, and what I would improve next.
#Home Lab Architecture
Virtual SOC Network Topology
Isolated virtual environment designed to simulate attacker behavior, network controls, endpoint activity, and centralized detection for SOC practice.
- • reconnaissance & scanning
- • authentication attempts
- • payload simulation
- • segmentation & zones
- • allow / deny rules
- • NAT & traffic logs
- • authentication events
- • process execution
- • network connections
- • log ingestion
- • detection rules
- • alert triage
What This Lab Demonstrates
From attacker activity through firewall enforcement to endpoint telemetry and SIEM alerts.
Alert triage, evidence correlation, MITRE mapping, and response notes.
Validating detections, tuning noise, and confirming expected network behavior.

Current Focus
Building SOC-ready projects that show alert triage, detection logic, and repeatable response playbooks with clear documentation and verification steps.
#Projects
SIEM SOC Dashboard (Splunk)
LabDashboards for authentication anomalies and brute-force patterns. Built a simple triage flow with alert context, severity cues, and follow-up steps.
Incident Response Automation (Cortex XSOAR)
LabCreated playbooks to automate repetitive response steps including enrichment, notification, and case workflow for simulated incidents.
Honeypot Deployment & Analysis
LabDeployed honeypots to observe attacker behavior, extract indicators of compromise, and document common scanning and credential attempts.
Linux Security Hardening Lab
LabHardened a Linux host using SSH best practices, firewall rules, and baseline checks with validation steps.
