Welcome to my GitHub! I'm a cybersecurity graduate student focused on Security Operations (SOC), Digital Forensics, and Incident Response. Through hands-on labs, homelab projects, and real-world investigation scenarios, I develop practical skills in threat detection, log analysis, digital forensics, SIEM technologies, and security monitoring.

This repository showcases my cybersecurity portfolio, including SOC investigations, digital forensic case studies, DFIR projects, automation tools, and homelab implementations. My goal is to build the technical expertise needed to protect organizations, investigate security incidents, and contribute to the cybersecurity community through continuous learning and hands-on practice.
