What I'm looking for

I am looking for an entry-level IT role or internship where I can apply network security and troubleshooting skills, work on practical projects, and grow under mentorship in a collaborative, security-focused team.

I am a final-year Cybersecurity student with hands-on experience designing secure networks and developing a low-code web application for a government ministry. I contributed to system design, user interface development, data security implementation, testing, and performance reviews.

I built and simulated secure networks using Cisco Packet Tracer, configured routers, switches, VLANs and firewalls, and performed vulnerability testing with documented mitigation strategies. I have practical skills in both backend and frontend development, database management, and version control.

I am eager to apply academic knowledge in network security, troubleshooting, and system management in an entry-level IT role or internship, contribute to secure IT environments, and continue growing professionally in information technology.
