What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my cybersecurity skills while continuing to educate others about best practices in the field.

I am a Cyber Security Analyst with over 10 years of experience in the field, specializing in penetration testing, EDR, RMM, and email threat monitoring. My journey has been driven by a passion for user education, ensuring that both employees and clients are well-informed about the latest cybersecurity practices. Currently, I am working at Infinitesol, where I handle incident response and threat analysis, creating robust BCDR plans to safeguard our digital assets.

In addition to my role as a security analyst, I have spent a significant part of my career as a technical instructor at VES Institutions. Here, I taught Python, Java, and database management to higher secondary students, fostering a new generation of tech-savvy individuals. My experience in education has equipped me with the skills to communicate complex concepts in an accessible manner, which I believe is essential in the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity.
