What I'm looking for

I seek roles focused on CTI, cloud security, or offensive/defensive operations within collaborative teams that value continuous learning, impact-driven work, and opportunities to develop tooling and training.

I am a cybersecurity professional with hands-on experience in threat intelligence, cloud security, and penetration testing, currently advancing my MSc in Cybersecurity at Munster Technological University.

I've produced operational CTI reports, analyzed campaigns attributed to state-sponsored actors, and leveraged frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK, Cyber Kill Chain, and the Diamond Model to evaluate advanced persistent threats.

My background includes QA and automation work at a large telecommunications solutions team, cloud security implementations on AWS, and practical pentesting using Burp Suite, Metasploit, and Nmap; I was promoted to Senior Executive and received a Vodafone Star Award for quality leadership.

I build research-backed training modules, publish analytical blogs and briefs, and maintain a personal security lab to practice offensive and defensive techniques; I seek roles where I can apply CTI, cloud security, and applied red/blue team skills to protect mission-critical environments.
