About

I'm a SOC Analyst with 2+ years of hands-on experience across security operations, threat detection, and digital forensics. I specialise in building detection logic, responding to incidents, and hunting adversarial behaviour before it becomes a breach.

Currently working at Accenture and completed my MSc in Cybersecurity at Dublin Business School, I combine academic depth with real-world IR experience. I hold a Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) credential and have worked across the full SOC lifecycle — from alert triage to root cause analysis.

Immediately available with full work authorisation in Ireland (STAMP 1G). Open to relocate globally.
