Experience

Internship

Junior Cybersecurity Analyst Intern — Elliott Investment Management

My internship project came from a real organizational need: the security team wanted to improve their threat intelligence capabilities. I configured and operationalized MISP, researching 50+ threat intelligence sources and selecting 8 feeds to integrate into their workflows. I automated threat feed ingestion using REST APIs and cron jobs, and built Splunk lookups for IPs, domains, and file hashes to support analyst triage and investigation. It was my first time working inside a real security operations environment and it confirmed that threat intelligence and investigative security work is exactly where I want to be.

Tools: MISP, Splunk, REST APIs, Linux, Regex
