Building Secure.
Learning Every Day.
I build defensive cybersecurity skills through home labs, SOC simulations, SIEM investigations, and hands-on projects that mirror real-world analyst workflows.

Jothish Gandham
I enjoy understanding how systems behave instead of memorizing concepts. That curiosity led me into networking, operating systems, and defensive security.
Today I spend most of my time building projects, experimenting with tools like Linux, Wireshark, and Splunk, and documenting what I learn.
My goal is simple: build practical skills first, then contribute as a SOC analyst.
