What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can apply cybersecurity, systems administration, and incident response skills, mentor teams, and improve data integrity in mission-driven organizations.

I am a cybersecurity professional with a Master of Science in Cybersecurity (information security specialization) and a Bachelor in Information Management Systems. I have hands-on experience installing and configuring hardware and software, deploying front-end (Vue.js) and back-end (MySQL) components, containerizing applications with Docker, and administering Linux and Windows environments.

I have delivered trainings as a master trainer, led data-quality and deployment efforts, and managed incident response processes including monitoring, vulnerability identification, and detailed reporting. I prioritize systematic documentation, user-focused troubleshooting, and practical implementation of security policies to improve operational reliability and data integrity.
