What I'm looking for

I seek an entry-level security role in a collaborative team focused on hands-on SOC work, penetration testing, and opportunities to learn advanced incident response and automation.

I am a recent Computer Science graduate with practical training in penetration testing and security operations, skilled in vulnerability assessment, security monitoring, phishing simulations, and threat analysis. I have hands-on experience with Metasploit, Nmap, Burp Suite, GoPhish and SIEM tools, and strong foundations in scripting, system hardening, and incident response.

I have executed phishing campaigns, conducted TryHackMe/Kiptrix penetration testing labs, and developed automation scripts to streamline reconnaissance and reporting. I am eager to contribute to a growing security team where I can apply technical skills, improve detection and response, and grow as a cybersecurity professional.
