Focused on hands on cybersecurity investigations, blue team operations, digital forensics, web application security testing, and offensive security labs. Experienced in investigating real world attack scenarios, log analysis, endpoint investigations, phishing analysis, network forensics, SIEM engineering, and web exploitation techniques.

I am a cybersecurity enthusiast focused on Security Operations Center (SOC) investigations, Digital Forensics & Incident Response (DFIR), threat hunting, and web application security.

My work is heavily hands on and investigation driven. I continuously build practical labs, detection engineering projects, SIEM environments, penetration testing labs, and real world incident investigations to strengthen my blue team and offensive security skills.
