What I'm looking for

I am seeking an entry-level role in information security or AI-driven development where I can apply hands-on security experience, grow technical skills, and contribute in a collaborative, learning-focused team.

I am a computer science graduate with hands-on internships and early-career experience in IT and information security. I approach technical challenges with enthusiasm and a strong problem-solving mindset, seeking elegant and effective solutions.

During internships I worked with SAP, Figma, Flutter and Python, and gained practical exposure to firewall configuration, encryption/decryption, identity and access management, SCIM, SSO and Kerberos.

In a remote role as an Information Security Engineer I managed KnowBe4 to run phishing simulations and security awareness training, improving organizational security posture through people-focused programs.

I build AI-driven products such as PDF chatbots using React, Python, Supabase and large-model APIs, and I am ready to apply theoretical knowledge while learning industry best practices in a dynamic team environment.
