About
I am an Information Engineering graduate from the International University for Science and Technology (IUST), with a strong interest in Cybersecurity, particularly Blue Team operations and Security Operations Center (SOC) environments. I am currently focused on developing my knowledge in cybersecurity fundamentals, security monitoring, incident detection, and defensive security practices. I have completed a Cybersecurity Bootcamp provided by Cyberpedia, which strengthened my understanding of core cybersecurity concepts. I am passionate about continuous learning and looking forward to developing practical skills through hands-on labs, projects, and real-world cybersecurity scenarios. My goal is to start my career in cybersecurity and grow into a skilled SOC / Blue Team professional.
Projects
Multi-Stage Threat Detection & Incident Triage using Elastic SIEM
I set up a dedicated cloud and virtualization threat detection lab to simulate real-world attacks and monitor them using the Elastic Stack (SIEM). The objective was to ingest endpoint telemetry, simulate adversarial attacks against an authentic target environment, and configure custom detection rules and alerts to capture anomalous and malicious activities.
