What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, collaboration, and innovation in cybersecurity and cloud technologies.

As a DevSecOps Engineer student, I am deeply passionate about cybersecurity, cloud technologies, and artificial intelligence. My journey began with a strong foundation in computer science, and I have continuously sought opportunities to expand my knowledge and skills. I have experience teaching cybersecurity basics to children, which has not only honed my communication skills but also reinforced my commitment to promoting safe internet practices.

During my internships, I led significant projects such as AWS cloud deployment and migration, where I successfully managed the provisioning of EC2 instances and implemented best practices for cloud security. I also gained hands-on experience with Wazuh SIEM, enhancing my ability to monitor security events and respond to incidents effectively. My technical skills are complemented by my certifications in penetration testing and vulnerability assessment, which demonstrate my commitment to maintaining a robust security posture.

I thrive in collaborative environments and am eager to contribute to innovative teams that value forward-thinking solutions. My goal is to leverage my skills in cybersecurity and cloud technologies to create impactful solutions that enhance security and efficiency in organizations.
