About
I break into things so I can tell you exactly how to fix them.
Automating the noise out of security operations. Building SOAR workflows that actually work, making AI do the heavy lifting, and poking at systems until they confess their vulnerabilities. Also the regular SOC stuff – monitoring, hunting, responding – consider that the warm-up act.
Badge says SOC Analyst. Reality says VAPT, AI automation, and controlled detonations. The email signature entered witness protection.

SOC Analyst
Making security operations less boring, one automation at a time. Building SOAR workflows that kill alert noise before it reaches a human. Teaching AI to do the grunt work. Running VAPT engagements because the best defense is knowing exactly how things break.

POTECH – Paths of Technology
SOC Analyst Intern
The origin story. Stared at SIEM dashboards until the patterns started making sense. Hunted phish, chased threats, wrote reports that people actually read. The kind of gig that turns textbook theory into muscle memory.

IT, Networking and Security
Technical Baccalaureate + Bachelor's
Started with a 3-year technical baccalaureate in IT, then doubled down with a bachelor's in networking and security. The kind of academic grind that teaches you how networks talk, how they break, and how to keep them from breaking – mostly. Turns out you can study chaos theory without calling it that.

Freelance Web Dev
Developer & Consultant
Built websites, broke them, fixed them, launched them. Dealt with clients requesting "one more change" at 11 PM across time zones. Cut my teeth on everything from quick patches to full architecture. Then fell down the cybersecurity rabbit hole and never looked back.

Various Survival Jobs
Cashier, Line Cook & Reluctant Sales Rep
Counted cash, flipped burgers, and attempted a sales career – until I decided honesty was more my speed. Turns out "I wouldn't buy this either" isn't a closing technique, but it made me feel better.

Skills
Automate
So humans can sleep. Allegedly.
- SOAR Playbooks that kill alert noise before it ever reaches a human.
- AI Integration Teaching models to do the grunt work, then checking their homework.
- MCP Wiring AI agents into the security stack without handing them the keys to everything.
- Python The glue. Also the duct tape. Occasionally the hammer.
Break
Find it before someone else does.
- VAPT Poking at systems until they confess, then writing up exactly how to fix them.
- Threat Hunting Looking for the thing that didn't trigger an alert. Yet.
- Phishing Analysis Pulling apart lures, headers and payloads. invoice.pdf.exe included.
Defend
The warm-up act.
- CrowdStrike Falcon EDR telemetry, detections, and containment when it actually counts.
- SIEM & Monitoring Staring at dashboards until the patterns start talking back.
- Threat Detection Turning “that looks weird” into a rule that fires every time.
- Incident Response Triage, contain, explain. Calmly. Mostly.
Build
Old habits, new targets.
- Web Development Full-stack, from quick patches to full architecture. Freelance scars included.
- Networking & Linux How networks talk, how they break, and a shell that feels like home.
- Reporting Reports people actually read. Rarer than it should be.
