Cybersecurity Student//SOC Analyst in Training
From Bangladesh, studying in Canada. A software engineering student who fell down the cybersecurity rabbit hole and never looked back. Building SOC skills through a Proxmox homelab, chasing certs, and working toward Cloud Security Architecture — one lab at a time.
I'm Jobair Ahmed Jisan — originally from Bangladesh, now studying Advanced Diploma in Software Engineering in Canada. My path into cybersecurity wasn't a straight line. It started with curiosity — hacking WiFi, writing viruses, rooting Android phones — the kind of rabbit holes that make you realize just how deep technology goes.
Three months into seriously learning cybersecurity, I'm building from the ground up. A Proxmox homelab running at home, tools like Wazuh, Security Onion, and TheHive being explored hands-on, and a growing fascination with how networks actually behave under the hood. My software engineering background gives me a different angle — I don't just ask what is happening, I want to know why.
The immediate goal is to break into a SOC Analyst role and build real-world detection and response experience. But the bigger picture is Cloud Security Architecture — designing secure systems at scale, not just defending them. Every lab, every certification, every late-night deep dive is a step toward that.
Building hands-on experience through homelab practice and structured coursework. Practical implementation is always in progress.
Alert triage, log correlation, and incident investigation workflows. Practicing SOC analyst procedures in homelab SIEM environments.
Azure fundamentals including identity management, compliance frameworks, and cloud security principles — backed by AZ-900, DP-900, and SC-900.
Studying for CCNA — TCP/IP, routing, switching, subnetting, and network security. Practicing packet analysis with Wireshark in the lab.
Exploring MITRE ATT&CK framework, threat intelligence, and building detection logic. Practicing on homelab and CTF platforms.
Comfortable in Linux for security tasks — log parsing, scripting, and running security tools. Homelab runs primarily on Linux-based VMs.
Google Cybersecurity Professional Certificate — security frameworks, risk management, vulnerability assessment, and incident response fundamentals.
Running a Proxmox-based homelab with multiple VMs for hands-on security practice. Deploying and managing tools like Wazuh, Security Onion, TheHive, and Cortex in an isolated environment.
Completed certifications and active pursuits — each a stepping stone toward SOC analyst work.
