Mission & Background

My journey in cybersecurity began within MSSPs, where I learned to operate in fast-paced environments, triaging high volumes of alerts, investigating incidents, and sharpening my operational skills.

Seeking greater challenges, I transitioned into an internal security team where tasks became more ambiguous, and I was required to wear many hats — from incident response and cloud security investigations to detection rule creation, log analysis, and vulnerability management.

Throughout this journey, I consistently pursued growth outside of working hours: studying detection engineering, learning new security tools, building Sigma rules, writing KQL queries, simulating adversary behavior, and deepening my understanding of modern threat landscapes.

Beyond cybersecurity, I'm passionate about balance and discipline — I enjoy cooking, biking, and consistently training at the gym. These habits reflect the same energy I bring to my professional development: always learning, always moving forward.

Today, my mission is clear: to evolve from security analyst to a skilled Detection Engineer — designing resilient, proactive defenses to find adversaries before they strike.
