About Me
My Journey in Cybersecurity
Hi, I’m Javier Napoles — a cybersecurity professional focused on SOC Analysis, blending a decade of design experience with a passion for defending enterprise environments.
I’m actively developing my technical skills by building hands-on labs, fine-tuning detections, and creating repeatable playbooks to enhance blue-team operations.
Having completed my Cybersecurity Program at DAE (Oct 2025), I’m now preparing for the CompTIA Security+ certification and looking for a SOC Analyst role where I can continue learning and contribute to robust defense systems.
