What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an entry-level cybersecurity role where I can support secure infrastructure, automate security workflows in Python, and learn from hands-on vulnerability assessment and monitoring—while collaborating across technical and administrative teams.

I’m an early-career computer engineer with a B.Eng in Computer Engineering, an MBA in Cybersecurity, and I’m currently pursuing an MSc in Artificial Intelligence. I’m CompTIA Security+ certified and I enjoy building practical security capabilities that strengthen resilience in real operational environments.

As a Cybersecurity Trainee, I supported secure system upgrades, user account management, and routine security checks to maintain compliance with internal policies. I participated in vulnerability assessments and contributed to system hardening efforts that improved network resilience, while also helping reduce repetitive work by building small Python automation scripts.

Previously, as an IT Support Technician, I delivered Tier 1 and Tier 2 support across hardware, software, and network issues to improve user satisfaction. I also assisted in maintaining secure network infrastructure (including firewall and switch configurations), installed and documented systems across Windows and macOS, and supported deployment activities while keeping clear technical documentation for tracking and audit readiness.

I bring a hands-on engineering mindset to cybersecurity engineering, combining troubleshooting, secure configuration management, and infrastructure monitoring with growing interest in AI applications in cybersecurity. My projects—like file integrity monitoring with SHA-256, containerized Python tooling with Docker, and network vulnerability scanning—reflect how I like to turn security needs into reliable, automated solutions.
