I'm a security analyst based in Manchester, UK, working toward a Tier 1 SOC role.
Most of what's here is documentation rather than code. I investigate things in live cloud environments and write up how I did it, including the parts that went wrong. I hold an MSc in Cybersecurity Management, Security+ and Network+, and two years of IT support experience before this.
Currently working through a 12-week cloud security track, publishing one documented investigation a week.
Documented investigations in a live multi-user Azure tenant. Each one covers method, evidence and severity-ranked remediation. → security-portfolio
