At IBM, I designed a ZeroTier virtual simulation lab to replicate secure private network traffic, improving testing efficiency by 20%. I also automated VPN-based integration tests using OpenVPN, reducing manual validation effort by 35%.

I tested TCP, UDP, and ICMP traffic scenarios with AI-assisted analysis via Ollama, helping uncover performance gaps and expand test coverage. My hands-on cybersecurity experience includes digital forensics, network security, malware analysis, vulnerability assessment, and incident response.
