I'm an aspiring SOC Analyst focused on detection engineering, log analysis, and threat visibility. I build and break things in my own home lab — Wazuh, Sysmon, and Windows event telemetry mapped to MITRE ATT&CK — to understand how attacks look from the defender's side. I come from a software development background (Android/Kotlin, Python, web), which I now bring into security: scripting, automation, and a solid grip on how the systems I'm defending actually work under the hood.

}- SOC & Detection: Home lab built on Wazuh + Sysmon, mapping Windows events to MITRE ATT&CK techniques.
- Log & Endpoint Analysis: Investigating authentication events, account management, and process execution telemetry.
- Scripting & Automation: Python and Bash for parsing logs, automating lab tasks, and building small security tooling.
- Networking Fundamentals: Solid grasp of OSI/TCP-IP models applied to real traffic and log analysis.
- Systems Background: Linux administration and Docker, from a hands-on network/server admin practicum.
- Dev Roots: Android (Kotlin, Jetpack Compose) and backend (FastAPI, Python) — the engineering foundation behind my security work.
