What I'm looking for

I seek a challenging role in security assessment with opportunities for growth.

I am a versatile systems engineer with a strong commitment to taking ownership of issues and thriving under pressure. My experience spans various roles in security assessment and systems administration, where I have honed my skills in vulnerability testing and access management. I am passionate about learning new technologies and continuously improving my technical abilities.

In my most recent role as a Senior Security Assessment Engineer at OpenText, I conducted both automated and manual web application vulnerability testing, utilizing tools like WebInspect and Burp Suite. My attention to detail allowed me to effectively audit vulnerabilities and ensure the security of web applications. Prior to this, I worked as a Systems Security Administrator at Experian, where I managed internal access procedures and ensured compliance with security protocols.

Throughout my career, I have developed a solid foundation in various technologies and tools, including SQL Server, Tomcat, and network protocols. I thrive in collaborative environments and enjoy solving complex technical challenges, always striving to enhance the quality of the systems I work with.
