-🙂 About me ...

  • The University of Texas at San Antonio Computer Science alumni has experience working as an
    Associate Software Engineer, with a good understanding of working with Java technology, in a Front-
    End and Back-End work environment of software development, as well as a good understanding of
    data analytic process by organize, analyze, and visualize data sets using database tools (MS Excel, MS
    SQL Server, R-studio, Tableau).

  • Recently moved into the field of Cybersecurity, having a good understanding of identifying threats
   and vulnerabilities, malware analysis, incident and response process by using NIST framework (RMF,
   CSF), use of SIEM tools (Splunk), and network packet analyzer tools (Wireshark, Tcpdump) that I
   learned in my Google Cybersecurity certification program. I am also a CompTIA Security+ certified
   in this certification program I got more technical understanding of how to secure systems, and
   networks (LAN, WAN) from ongoing network and social engineering attacks. Moreover, I also
   completed Lets’ Defend blue team training paths (SOC Analyst, Malware Analysis, and Incident
   Responder), these paths practically trained me how to use SOC Analyst tools, and how to solve alert
   tickets using an interactive SIEM dashboard similar to the SIEM dashboard use in SOC Analysts work
   environment, I am also good at troubleshooting tasks related to hardware and software issues.
