What I'm looking for

I'm seeking opportunities in Cybersecurity, SOC, IT Support, or Service Desk roles where I can continue to develop my skills and contribute to a strong security team.

At the University of Sunderland, I contributed to developing a client website for CyberNorth as part of a six-person team. I coordinated project tasks and developed website features using HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, and JavaScript.

My final-year project focused on detecting malware and ransomware through Windows telemetry, including Living-off-the-Land behaviors. I’ve also completed TryHackMe SOC Level 1, strengthening my knowledge of SIEM, log analysis, incident response, and threat detection.
