🎓 I hold a Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering and a Master’s in Cybersecurity, strongly focusing on digital defense, ethical hacking, and threat detection. Over the past year, I’ve been deeply committed to advancing my technical skills through hands-on labs, independent study, and active participation in cybersecurity platforms.

🔐 My goal is to contribute to building secure digital systems by applying a blend of engineering principles, security methodologies, and a passion for continuous learning.

• 🧪 Building a custom cybersecurity lab to simulate attack and defense scenarios using Kali Linux, Metasploit, Security Onion, and Splunk.
  
• 📈 Practicing threat analysis and detection using MITRE ATT&CK techniques and platforms like TryHackMe & Hack The Box.
  
• 🗂️ Documenting workflows and lab results to develop a personal InfoSec knowledge base and showcase practical experience.
  
  

• 🛡️ Threat Detection & SIEM Tools (e.g., Wazuh, Splunk, OSSIM)
  
• 🌐 Web Application Security Testing (OWASP Top 10, Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP)
  
• 🧠 Digital Forensics (Autopsy, Volatility, FTK Imager)
  
• 🐍 Python for Security Automation (log parsing, alert scripts, reporting)
  
• 📚 Preparing for CompTIA Security+, with plans for CEH and GCFA
  
  
  

• 🧩 Open-source cybersecurity tools or beginner-friendly security projects
  
• 🎯 Capture The Flag (CTF) teams and security challenge events
  
• 📰 Educational content or guides on cybersecurity fundamentals
  
• 🔍 Malware analysis labs or small-scale forensic case simulations
  
  

• 🧑‍💻 Entry-level cybersecurity roles, such as:
  
  • SOC Analyst
    
  • Junior Penetration Tester
    
  • Cybersecurity Analyst
    
  • Digital Forensics Assistant
    
• 🧭 Mentorship and career guidance from InfoSec professionals
  
• 🛠️ Real-world exposure to incident response, vulnerability management, and network monitoring environments
  
  

• 🧰 Setting up a personal cybersecurity lab using free tools and virtual machines
  
• 🧾 Basic digital forensic workflows — from disk imaging to artifact recovery
  
• 🔁 Transitioning into cybersecurity from a general tech/engineering background
  
• 📚 Learning resources and study paths I found helpful in my journey
  
  

I love analyzing real-world cyberattack case studies and recreating them in lab environments to understand how they unfolded — and how they could’ve been stopped. It’s both a challenge and a form of training.
