The person behind
the terminal.

I'm a Security Support Engineer II at F5's Distributed Cloud SOC in Singapore, specialising in DDoS mitigation (Layer 3-7), network security, and incident response.

I work with enterprise customers to protect their infrastructure, troubleshoot complex network issues, and respond to live security threats. I hold the CompTIA CySA+, Security+, and Network+ certifications.

I write here about cybersecurity topics that catch my attention; from breach analysis to social engineering and the evolving threat landscape. I am highly interested in the GRC aspect of security, and am working towards being an auditor in my later career.
