What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to gain hands-on experience and grow my skills in cyber security.

I am currently a Cyber Security student at the Open University, where I am pursuing my BSc in Cyber Security. My journey in technology began long before my formal education, as I was self-taught in various aspects of IT until I enrolled in my degree program in October 2024. This foundational knowledge has fueled my passion for understanding how systems operate and has equipped me with essential skills in troubleshooting and system management.

Throughout my studies, I have developed a strong proficiency in Windows OS and have gained basic knowledge in Python, Cisco Networking, Kali Linux, and Debian. My hands-on experience in repairing PCs, both hardware and software, has further solidified my technical abilities. I am eager to apply my skills in a full-time position where I can gain practical experience and continue to grow in the field of cyber security.
