I’m Faith Akerele, an aspiring Cybersecurity Analyst with a primary focus on Blue Team operations — including network defense, intrusion detection, and malware traffic analysis. I build and manage realistic home lab environments where I simulate attacks, investigate incidents, and create structured SOC-style reports to sharpen my detection and response skills.

While my main interest lies in defensive security, I also explore Red Team techniques to understand how attackers think. This includes basic penetration testing, vulnerability scanning, and exploitation fundamentals, which I use to strengthen my defensive strategies.

I regularly work with tools like Wireshark, Zeek, Snort, Splunk, Nmap, Kali Linux, Metasploitable, and document my findings clearly to reflect real-world security workflows. My goal is to combine this hands-on lab work with strong reporting skills to contribute effectively in a SOC, incident response, or junior analyst role.

I value clear communication, methodical investigation, and practical learning.
