What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a cybersecurity role where I can run threat intelligence and incident response support, automate OSINT into clear briefings, and apply security testing to defend critical infrastructure with hands-on technical research.

I’m a Master’s graduate specializing in Cyber Intelligence, focused on systems diagnostics and automated threat detection. I build and apply automated OSINT tools with a root cause diagnostic mindset to uncover vulnerabilities across complex environments.

As a Graduate Research Assistant (Critical Infrastructure), I spearheaded the production of bi-weekly critical infrastructure bulletins, translating complex technical data and systemic vulnerabilities into actionable intelligence for academic and professional review. I also researched critical infrastructure resilience against cyber-physical attacks by applying Industrial Control System (ICS) security principles.

Before research, I coached students in Linux, virtual machine configuration, and network security fundamentals—troubleshooting student code (Unity/C#) and hardware logic (Arduino) in sandbox environments. I’ve also supported 75+ customers weekly in a telecom role, maintaining a 95% satisfaction rate, and reduced support tickets by educating non-technical users on mobile security risks and data privacy best practices.
