Xochitl Torres

Technical Support Specialist building toward Security Operations

Bilingual technical support professional with hands-on experience troubleshooting SaaS platforms, VoIP, network connectivity, user access, FTP/SFTP and business-system integrations. I investigate logs, document what I find, and work directly with customers and engineering teams to move issues from symptoms to a clear next step. I am currently expanding into cybersecurity through hands-on SOC analysis, incident prioritization, networking, AWS fundamentals and GRC.

I am naturally curious when troubleshooting. If the first answer does not fit the evidence, I usually keep following the other possibilities — logs, permissions, network conditions, integrations and user behavior — until I can explain what is happening or escalate it with useful context.

What I Bring to Security-Focused Teams

Evidence before assumptions.

I like collecting logs, context and reproduction steps before deciding what the problem is.

Good escalation habits.

I know when an issue is outside my access or scope and how to escalate it with enough information to make the next person's work easier.

Customer + technical communication.

I am comfortable speaking directly with customers while also working with Engineering, Data and other technical teams.

Curiosity without pretending.

If I do not know something yet, I ask, research and explore the possibilities instead of guessing.

Outside Tech

Outside of tech, I DJ electronic music and work with both digital and physical music formats. It keeps the creative side of my brain busy and gives me another excuse to obsess over hardware, signal flow and figuring out why something is not working.
