About Me


Linux Terminal
user@linux:~$ cat aboutme.txt
Hey there! I’m a cybersecurity enthusiast based in San Francisco, working toward a career as a SOC Analyst. My journey into cybersecurity was fueled by a curiosity for how systems work—and how they can be secured. Since then, I’ve been honing my skills in threat detection, incident response, and network security through community college courses, Coursera, Hack The Box, and TryHackMe.
I love digging through logs, analyzing network traffic, and uncovering security threats—like solving a puzzle, but with real-world stakes. Whether I’m capturing packets in Wireshark or investigating alerts, I thrive on the challenge of staying one step ahead of attackers.
When I’m not working on security labs, you’ll find me gaming, collecting sneakers and stickers,or hanging out with my two French bulldogs (who, unfortunately, are better at finding snacks than detecting threats).
Cybersecurity is more than just a career path—it’s a mindset.I believe in continuous learning, thinking like an attacker to defend better,and staying ahead in the evolving threat landscape. This portfolio showcases my projects, CTF challenges, and my journey toward becoming a SOC Analyst.

My Learning Journey

My journey into cybersecurity has been a blend of structured learning and self-driven exploration. Over the past year, I’ve been expanding my skills through community college courses and online platforms like Coursera, TryHackMe, and Hack The Box. Beyond formal coursework, I stay sharp by watching YouTube videos, reading articles on the latest attacks, and attending conferences like B-Sides, where I get to learn from industry experts. To gain real-world experience, I actively work on projects that challenge me to apply my knowledge in practical scenarios. I thrive on the fun and challenge of the learning process—whether it’s troubleshooting a tricky CTF challenge or analyzing packet captures. I’ve learned to embrace uncomfortable situations as opportunities for growth, pushing myself to dive deeper into unfamiliar topics and build my expertise. No matter how intimidating a challenge seems, I see it as a chance to learn more, sharpen my skills, and become a stronger cybersecurity professional.
