About

Dedicated and detail-oriented Junior Cybersecurity Analyst with a strong foundation in threat detection, risk management, and network security. Having recently completed the Google Cybersecurity Professional Certificate, I have developed hands-on experience in identifying vulnerabilities and automating security tasks using Python and SQL. I am a proactive problem-solver committed to protecting organizational assets and staying ahead of the evolving threat landscape.

Experience on Incident Detection and Response (Lab-Based): Acted as a Junior Analyst in simulated environments to monitor and triage alerts using Google Chronicle and Microsoft Sentinel. Analyzed security logs to identify unauthorized access attempts and utilized Python to parse data, reducing the manual review time of event logs during incident investigations.

I am eager to apply my technical training and analytical mindset to help secure and defend digital infrastructures.

View my Technical Portfolio: I have documented 46+ high-impact labs and projects, including work in SIEM triage (Chronicle/Sentinel), Python automation, and SQL forensics.
