What I'm looking for

I seek hands-on cybersecurity or network roles where I can learn continuously, tackle evolving threats, and contribute to secure, well-maintained systems.

I am an aspiring cybersecurity professional with practical experience in networking, systems administration, and IT support. I have worked on virtual labs and used tools such as Burp Suite and Ansible to deepen my understanding of threat landscapes and mitigation techniques.

In my role supporting enterprise systems, I administered Zimbra Email Server, GLPI ticketing, firewall essentials, and maintained business applications to ensure uptime and performance. I have experience installing and troubleshooting hardware, printers, switches, CCTV, and access control systems.

I hold practical certifications including Cisco Networking Basics, Introduction to Cybersecurity, and Career Essentials in Cybersecurity from Microsoft & LinkedIn, and I am continuously building skills in Linux administration, network configuration, and security awareness.

I thrive in learning-focused environments where I can tackle evolving challenges, contribute to secure system operations, and grow toward deeper expertise in cybersecurity and network defense.
