Overview

I'm Eldon Gabriel, an ISCĀ² Certified Cybersecurity professional with 90+ hands-on labs and reports completed. My training blends independent projects with MossĆ© Cyber Security Institute (MCSI) labs aligned to frameworks such as NIST NICE, US MOS, and the ASD Cyber Skills Framework.

I focus on system administration, security operations, threat hunting, penetration testing, and digital forensics. My work turns technical research into practical solutionsā€”clear documentation, automation scripts, and security processes that strengthen organizational defenses.

Through real-world lab simulations, Iā€™ve built experience analyzing vulnerabilities, investigating threats, and applying mitigation strategies using tools like YARA, Nmap, Wireshark, and Kali Linux.

Currently, I contribute to AI research as a Multimodal AI Dataset Contributor at Mercor, while continuing to expand my cybersecurity skills and investigative capabilities through independent projects and professional contributions.

Key Influences and Lessons

My journey from business to cybersecurity has been shaped by hands-on technical work and lessons learned from remarkable people along the way. These experiences taught me leadership, resilience, and strategic thinkingā€”skills I now apply to building secure networks, hunting threats, and developing proactive defenses.
