Welcome to My Cybersecurity Journey

Hello! I'm Lawrence, a passionate cybersecurity enthusiast with a unique path that blends a background in law enforcement and security with a decade-long pursuit in the dynamic world of cybersecurity.

My journey began in a different realm – serving in the Army, a chapter that taught me discipline and resilience. However, a turn of events led to a medical discharge, propelling me into a new direction. This pivotal moment was the start of my love affair with cybersecurity, a field where I could channel my commitment to protection and security into the digital realm.

Over the past ten years, I've immersed myself in this fascinating field, acquiring an Associate's degree in Network Systems Administration and nearing the completion of my Bachelor's in Cybersecurity. Certifications like CompTIA Security+ and Certified Ethical Hacker adorn my journey, and soon, I'll add Linux+, A+, and Network+ to my repertoire.

My ultimate goal? To embark on a career as a SOC Analyst, a role where I can apply my skills in real-time security monitoring and incident response. This website is more than just a digital portfolio; it's a chronicle of my journey, showcasing projects that sharpen the very skills needed for such a role. From creating a honeypot to setting up a virtual lab, I am delving into the tools and techniques essential for a SOC Analyst – including the use of SIEMs and other critical cybersecurity tools.

Join me as I navigate through this exciting phase, transforming challenges into opportunities and continuously learning in the vast and ever-evolving cyberspace. Whether you're a fellow cybersecurity enthusiast, a potential employer, or just curious about my journey, I invite you to explore my projects and witness the growth of a budding cybersecurity professional.
