Cyber Operations Student
📍 Tucson, Arizona · University of Arizona
🛡️ Interested in network security, traffic analysis, and threat detection
I’m a Cyber Operations student at the University of Arizona with a growing focus on network analysis, log analysis, and security monitoring.
Right now, I’m building hands-on experience through coursework and personal projects using tools like Wireshark, Splunk, and Python. I’m especially interested in understanding how packets, protocols, and logs can reveal real security issues.
My current goal is simple: build solid technical foundations and turn them into practical cybersecurity skills.
- 🌐 Network traffic analysis with Wireshark
- 📊 Log analysis and detection workflows with Splunk
- 🐍 Python scripting for basic security automation
- 🔎 Building SOC-style investigation habits through hands-on projects
Built a small SOC-style lab in Splunk to ingest and analyze authentication and system logs.
Focused on failed logins, suspicious activity patterns, dashboard creation, and basic threat-hunting workflows.
Course-based traffic analysis project tied to CYBV 326 – Introductory Methods of Network Analysis.
Used Wireshark to examine TCP, DNS, HTTP, ARP, and ICMP traffic and document normal vs. abnormal behavior.
Building a simple Python-based tool to parse system and network logs, identify suspicious login activity, and support basic monitoring tasks.
