Edlira Agolli

I am a motivated and results-driven Cybersecurity Engineer with a strong foundation in computer science and IT infrastructure. My experience spans technical consulting, teaching, and self-directed business ownership, allowing me to develop a diverse skill set in application and web security, cloud platforms, and cybersecurity automation. Currently, I am completing my M.S. in Cybersecurity, focusing on application security, risk management, and cloud security.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated my ability to work independently in remote settings while maintaining a passion for securing digital ecosystems. As the owner and manager of Friends Diner, I managed business operations and secured digital payment systems, applying cybersecurity best practices to ensure the safety of sensitive data. My teaching experience at a private school allowed me to introduce students to cybersecurity fundamentals, further solidifying my commitment to promoting digital safety.

In addition to my professional experience, I have engaged in various projects, including a cybersecurity risk assessment and a secure web application built with Python and Django. I am continuously seeking to enhance my skills and knowledge in the field, with certifications such as CompTIA Security+ and AWS Cloud Practitioner planned for the near future.
