SOC Analyst with a Historian’s Eye for Patterns & a Strategist’s Mind for Defense

Cyber threats aren’t just code — they’re characters of a bigger story, written by human.

As a Security Operations Center (SOC) Analyst and a graduate of History & International Studies, I bring a rare blend of technical expertise and global awareness to safeguarding your digital assets. The kind so rare as me.

I don’t just detect and respond to incidents — I interpret the patterns behind them, anticipate attacker motivations, and see the broader geopolitical and historical forces that shape the threat landscape.

What I deliver

Real-time Threat Monitoring & Incident Response – Detecting anomalies and stopping attacks before they escalate.

Vulnerability Assessment & Remediation Guidance – Identifying weaknesses before attackers exploit them.

SIEM Mastery – Expert with Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk, ELK Stack, and advanced KQL log analysis.

Threat Intelligence Integration – Merging technical indicators with geopolitical context for sharper threat predictions.

Endpoint & Network Security – From malware analysis to firewall optimization.

Cloud Security – Securing Azure, AWS, and hybrid environments.

Why this perspective matters to you:

✔️ Pattern recognition from a historian’s lens – spotting subtle connections attackers hope you’ll miss.

✔️ Geopolitical context – understanding how world events shape cyber threats.

✔️ Clear, human-centered communication – bridging the gap between tech and decision-makers.
