Jay
IT Support Specialist | Cybersecurity in Transition | Street Photographer
I'm based in Mandaluyong, Philippines, with 10+ years in IT support at RingCentral and AT&T. I'm actively transitioning into cybersecurity—building detection systems, learning KQL, and automating incident response in Microsoft Sentinel labs. I study to become a SOC Analyst, then Cloud Security Engineer. I'm honest: I'm not there yet, but I'm building it publicly through Azure labs, threat modeling, and security engineering projects. Street photography is my creative outlet and will return when time permits. For now, I channel that same precision into securing systems and defending against threats.
