What I'm looking for

I seek an entry-level security or IT support role (SOC Tier 1, Junior Security Analyst, or helpdesk) at a collaborative team where I can apply offensive/defensive skills, grow through mentorship, and contribute to incident detection and user-facing troubleshooting.

I am an early-career cybersecurity and IT support professional with hands-on experience in offensive security, packet analysis, and network traffic inspection.

I completed 600+ hours of immersive cybersecurity training at The Tech Academy and applied those skills in internships and personal projects such as OWASP Juice Shop assessments and a Scam Prevention Web App using the CheckPhish API.

In a production environment I provided day-to-day IT support for a small sales team, resolving printer, display, and connectivity issues while performing rust-proofing services—demonstrating reliability and strong user-focused troubleshooting.

I am comfortable working independently or in small teams, documenting findings, and expanding my skills via labs and platforms like TryHackMe. I seek entry-level security or IT roles where I can grow into advanced offensive and defensive responsibilities.
