What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an entry-level cybersecurity role where I can apply phishing simulations, packet analysis, OWASP scanning, and CTF-driven learning to help defend systems and grow into a penetration tester.

I completed a Cyber Security mentorship internship covering network security, ethical hacking, and threat analysis. Under mentor guidance, I worked on vulnerability identification and security best practices, and I was recognized as a keen and enthusiastic candidate.

I also completed Mastercard’s Cybersecurity virtual job simulation on Forage, where I designed a phishing email simulation and interpreted results to propose actionable recommendations for improving organizational security posture.

My hands-on projects strengthen my practical mindset: I built a packet sniffer with Scapy/Wireshark, created an OWASP Top-10 web vulnerability scanner, developed a password strength checker/generator, and completed 15+ CTF write-ups on Linux tools and web exploitation.
