About Me
I am a Cyber Security Analyst with a strong focus on SOC operations and blue teaming strategies. With hands-on experience in threat detection, incident response, and log analysis, I work to strengthen organizations' security posture by identifying and mitigating cyber threats in real time.
In addition to my SOC expertise, I am a CTF Developer, crafting challenging and realistic cybersecurity scenarios. My work spans network traffic analysis, log investigation, vulnerability exploitation, digital forensics, phishing analysis, malware analysis, and incident response, helping security professionals sharpen their skills through hands-on challenges.
Passionate about cyber defense, security research, and training, I actively contribute to the cybersecurity community by developing educational content, exercises, and training programs that bridge the gap between theory and real-world security operations.
