What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, where I can apply my skills in security and software development while contributing to meaningful projects.

I am a driven Computer Science graduate with a strong foundation in software engineering and networking. My passion lies in automating security solutions to protect financial systems and streamline operations. I have gained valuable experience through internships and research roles, where I developed and implemented various projects that enhance security and efficiency.

At Primex Solution, I worked as a Cyber Security & Networking Engineer, where I analyzed potential vulnerabilities and secured systems against threats. My role as a Research Assistant at Micro-Electronic Research Lab allowed me to design a compiler and contribute to open-source projects, culminating in a presentation at IEEE YESIST12, where I received the Top10 award. I am eager to leverage my skills in a challenging role that allows me to contribute to innovative security solutions.
