About Me

Security-focused,
detail-driven.

I am an early-career cyber security professional based in the UK, with a strong foundation built through a Level 4 Cyber Security Technologist apprenticeship completed with distinction. I bring hands-on experience in security operations, incident response, and monitoring using tools including Wazuh and SIEM platforms.

I hold CompTIA Security+ and ISC² Certified in Cybersecurity, and I am actively developing my skills in threat analysis, vulnerability management, and OT/ICS security awareness.

More About Me
  • Incident Response
    Investigating and containing security incidents with a methodical, evidence-based approach.
  • Security Monitoring

  • Threat Analysis
    Identifying indicators of compromise and understanding attacker techniques using MITRE ATT&CK.
  • OT/ICS Security
    Growing awareness of operational technology and industrial control system security challenges.
