Hi, I'm Justin

I'm building my career in cybersecurity after a foundation in IT, data, and customer-facing roles. I recently earned my CompTIA Security+ certification and now focus on blue team and SOC-style security work, especially log analysis and detection engineering.

I enjoy breaking down how attacks show up in telemetry and building detections that actually make sense to analysts.

Portfolio Highlights

What I'm working on

  • Building and tuning detections in Splunk
  • Analyzing Windows Security Events for suspicious behavior
  • Practicing SOC workflows like triage, investigation, and reporting

Tools & Skills

  • Splunk, Windows Event Logs, PowerShell, Python
  • VirtualBox, GitHub, Linux
  • CompTIA Security+, Google Cybersecurity Certificate

Goal

Join a SOC or security operations team as a junior analyst and contribute to detection, investigation, and incident response while continuing to grow.
