Practical Experiences

Self-learned Security Analyst | Oct 2023 – Present
 Independently designed and maintained a home lab to acquire hands-on cybersecurity
expertise. Built a comprehensive home infrastructure integrating SIEM platforms (Splunk,
ELK, Wazuh) for log collection and analysis across both Windows and Linux systems.
 Enhanced monitoring capabilities by incorporating additional logging solutions such as
IDS/IPS and monitoring in Wireshark. Leveraged various blue team tools and utilities to
streamline incident response processes and reinforce overall security.
 Conducted threat hunting exercises utilizing the MITRE ATT&CK framework to continuously
analyze and understand potential adversarial behaviors.
 Detected Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) using tools like YARA, enabling proactive threat
identification. Employed analytical thinking to decipher attacker methodologies.

Security Governance & Compliance:
 Performed policy applicability and gap analysis in lab environments using simulated
compliance checklists.
 Practiced monitoring enforcement of policies through SIEM tools and alert generation
(Wazuh, ELK, Splunk).
 Worked collaboratively with a simulated IT team to implement security policies within Active
Directory, including Group Policy Objects (GPOs) for access control, account lockout policies,
and user privileges.
 Understanding of GDPR principles and their application to internal security policies.

Motivation

I am passionate about cybersecurity and invest a few hours every day in hands-on labs and
challenges to sharpen my skills. While I am still building my industry experience, I proactively focus
on areas of high organizational impact. I am eager to contribute to a security-focused team, help
improve internal defenses through well-crafted policies, and grow into a trusted security advisor.
