What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers opportunities for growth, a collaborative environment, and the chance to work on challenging cybersecurity projects.

I am an entry-level cybersecurity professional with a strong foundation in penetration testing, vulnerability assessments, and network security. My hands-on experience includes using tools such as Nmap, Wireshark, and Metasploit, which has equipped me with the skills necessary to identify and mitigate security vulnerabilities effectively.

I am committed to continuous learning and fostering a security-first culture within dynamic environments. My proactive approach to problem-solving allows me to identify vulnerabilities and enforce security best practices. I am passionate about staying ahead of emerging security trends to strengthen defenses and minimize risks, ensuring the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of critical systems.
