Hi, I'm Aurelio 👋

About me

SOC Tier 1 analyst with approximately one year of professional experience and Incident Responder, actively seeking opportunities in international cybersecurity environments.

My work spans alert triage, incident investigation, log analysis, and detection rule tuning across multiple SIEM and SOAR platforms. I complement my professional experience with a strong certification stack and a portfolio of self-built detection engineering projects covering malware triage, phishing analysis, brute force detection, and network traffic forensics.

I hold internationally recognised certifications — CompTIA Security+, CySA+, and English C1 (Trinity ISE III) — and I am currently pursuing Microsoft SC-200 and BTL1 to further specialise in cloud-native SOC operations and blue team techniques.

I am open to a wide range of roles across the cybersecurity spectrum: SOC analyst, incident responder, cybersecurity analyst, threat intelligence analyst, detection engineer, and beyond. My goal is to work with serious, driven teams in international environments — wherever the most impactful security work is happening.
