Summary

Hello everyone,
I am currently working as a senior SOC Analyst. Aside from Incident Response, Digital Forensics, Malware Analysis, Network Security, and other Cybersecurity concepts in general, I also do programming/writing scripts for various tasks in C#, Python, JS. Please see my LinkedIn profile for my certifications and experiences: https://www.linkedin.com/in/xhelal-likaj-98b263132/

At university, I also worked as a tutor for several lectures and I already have some teaching experience.

Why do I want to be a mentor? I know that starting in a new field like programming or Cybersecurity is hard and that courses are often expensive. That is why I am willing to share my knowledge from a plethora of courses I have done and from my daily job with you in a way that you can learn!
