What I'm looking for

I’m looking to transition into a cybersecurity role where I can focus on network monitoring, threat analysis, incident response, and security automation—while bringing my sales-operations discipline around accuracy, data integrity, and cross-team execution.

I’m an international sales operations professional pivoting into cybersecurity, bringing strong business acumen and multilingual stakeholder management to every workflow. I thrive on maintaining data integrity under pressure while coordinating complex, cross-border processes with accuracy and accountability.

Since 10/2024, I’ve supported international sales operations at VIALTIS SARL, using tools like Python automation and SQL on Linux environments to streamline and validate operational outputs. I’ve also used cybersecurity tooling—Wireshark, Nmap, Snort, tcpdump, Nessus, and Metasploit—as part of my hands-on defensive learning, while acting as a main liaison with external partners.

In my cybersecurity projects and labs, I focus on real-world network defense: analyzing PCAP files in Wireshark/tcpdump to identify malicious patterns, implementing defensive monitoring with Snort IDS rules, and strengthening systems through vulnerability management using Nmap and Nessus. I also build security automation scripts in Python to parse logs and identify Indicators of Compromise (IoCs), aiming to turn signals into actionable remediation.

I’m currently completing Google’s Cybersecurity Professional Certificate (completed 12/2025) and building a technical foundation through Harvard University (CS50). I’m also pursuing CompTIA Network+ and Security+ to deepen my enterprise defensive strategies, supported by my International Business background and my ability to communicate clearly across languages.
