• Supported 40+ Amazon employees per cohort, facilitating Network Security, Threat Detection, and Cyber Defense labs. • Led practical sessions on MITRE ATT&CK, Wireshark, Nmap, and Linux Firewalls. • Conducted 6+ hours of weekly Office Hours, boosting learner engagement by 20% (based on feedback). • Graded assignments and provided detailed feedback, ensuring 90% of students demonstrated measurable progress, leading to 15% satisfaction rise (course evaluations) • Delivered timely asynchronous support via Slack, maintaining 95% response rate within 24 hours.

My research topic was "Improving Threat Detection and Response Efficiency in SOC Environments: A Practical Evaluation Using Simulated Security Incidents.” under the supervision of Professor, Guy Gogniat. ● 175+ HTB (Hack The Box) Academy challenges (Pre-SOC & SOC paths certification): https://shorturl.at/iyIPF ● 21+ Hack The Box machines pwned (Tier 0–2, ongoing): https://shorturl.at/X7tjD ● 5 Advanced Splunk BOTS APT hunts: https://shorturl.at/oVKgi ● 6+ HTB Sherlocks (ongoing): https://shorturl.at/ds2V3 ● Bash Scripting Challenges: https://shorturl.at/0zGtU 🎗️What I got from this experience: ● SOC operations with ELK & Splunk SIEM ● Threat detection, log & network traffic analysis (IDS/IPS) ● Active Directory attack analysis ● Malware analysis & DFIR workflows ● Most importantly: a sharper ability to think like an attacker while defending like an analyst. 📂 Proof of Work: Personal GitHub Repositories ● SOC notes, tactics & solutions: (https://shorturl.at/CIrXe) ● Bash Scripting Challenges & Notes: (https://shorturl.at/WbesK) I’ve gained proficiency with SIEMs (Splunk, Elastic), MITRE ATT&CK-based detections, Network Forensics (Wireshark), and Automation Scripting (Bash, PowerShell, Python), Hands-on with YARA (malware signatures) and Sigma (log-to-SIEM detection rules).
