@andrewfredrickson
Dedicated IT professional with expertise in cybersecurity and medical assisting.
What I'm looking for
I am an IT professional with over 5 years of experience in medical assisting and customer service. My recent certification in Microsoft Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals (SC-900) has equipped me with the skills necessary to enhance security measures in various environments. I am passionate about leveraging technology to improve security protocols and ensure the safety of sensitive information.
Currently, I work as a Penetration Tester at Red Line Cyber Security, where I identify and exploit vulnerabilities in computer systems to help organizations strengthen their defenses against potential threats. My previous roles have allowed me to interact with healthcare providers and patients, ensuring that services are covered under insurance and that medical records are accurately maintained. I thrive in dynamic environments where I can apply my technical skills and contribute to meaningful projects.
