I am a Cybersecurity graduate with a strong foundation in IT security solutions and hands-on experience in cybersecurity pre-sales engineering. My academic journey at Edith Cowan University has equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of cybersecurity analysis, penetration testing, and system security enhancements. I thrive in dynamic environments, leveraging my analytical and problem-solving skills to implement robust security measures that safeguard digital assets.

During my tenure as a Cybersecurity Pre Sales Engineer at Bluechip Technical Services, I secured IT infrastructures by implementing and managing cybersecurity solutions, ensuring protection against various threats. My role involved managing endpoint security, firewalls, and conducting vulnerability assessments to strengthen cybersecurity compliance. Additionally, I developed ECU CONNECT, a web platform that enhanced communication and resource access at Edith Cowan University, showcasing my ability to apply theoretical knowledge in practical scenarios.
