About Me
I am a cybersecurity and IT student at SUNY Broome Community College with a strong focus on security operations, malware analysis, and system protection.
I enjoy working hands-on with real-world systems, analyzing threats, troubleshooting technical issues, and building secure solutions. My goal is to start my career in IT Support or as a SOC Analyst Tier 1, where I can apply my skills in monitoring, detecting, and responding to security incidents while continuing to grow in cybersecurity.

Certifications Summary
I have completed multiple industry-recognized certifications focused on cybersecurity, AI, and IT support. These certifications strengthened my understanding of real-world security practices, including threat detection, system protection, and secure network management.
I actively apply this knowledge in hands-on projects such as SOC labs, malware analysis, AI phishing detection, and secure web development.

Cybersecurity Practice Platforms
I practice cybersecurity through TryHackMe and Hack The Box to build realistic, hands-on skills outside the classroom.
These platforms help me work through real-world simulations involving network scanning, enumeration, vulnerability analysis, privilege escalation basics, and documentation. I use them to keep improving my process, not to exaggerate my experience: the goal is steady, practical growth.
Additional Work
I continuously practice through labs, simulations, personal projects, DNS log analysis, malware analysis exercises, digital forensics practice, and small security-focused web projects.

Threat Triage Sandbox
Local Analysis
READYThis lightweight demo checks for common suspicious words and patterns. It is not a real security product, but it shows the kind of thinking used in first-level triage.
// response mindset
Incident Response Playbook
Identify
Review alerts, logs, affected hosts, user reports, and timeline clues to understand what may be happening.
Analyze
Look for indicators such as suspicious domains, unusual processes, failed logins, abnormal traffic, or file changes.
Contain
Limit impact by isolating affected systems, blocking known bad indicators, and preserving useful evidence.
Document
Write clear notes on findings, actions taken, evidence reviewed, and recommendations for improving defenses.
