Junior Security Analyst

About

I'm a cyber security graduate (MSc, University of Hertfordshire, Commendation) looking for a SOC Analyst or Junior Security Analyst role.

My hands-on experience is in security monitoring: reviewing logs and alerts in Microsoft Sentinel, investigating suspicious activity, and writing KQL queries and Python scripts to validate events. I currently develop security training content covering SOC operations, threat intelligence, SIEM and incident response.

Outside work I build security tools in Python and practise on Hack The Box. I'm studying for the Microsoft SC-200 certification.
