Cybersecurity professional specializing in penetration testing, threat hunting, and cloud security.
What I'm looking for
I am a self-motivated cybersecurity professional with hands-on experience in penetration testing, digital forensics, malware analysis, and cloud technologies. I hold certifications including AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner, Junior Penetration Tester, and Cybersecurity 101.
I've built practical labs and detection pipelines using tools such as Zeek, Suricata, Filebeat, and OpenSearch, and I deployed a deception environment with Cowrie and Suricata to study attacker behavior and automate alerts.
My freelance work on Upwork and national service IT role gave me experience in vulnerability assessments, troubleshooting, network auditing (Nmap, Wireshark), and client communication, producing structured pentest and intelligence reports.
I continuously refine my technical skills through projects in threat hunting, web application pentesting, OSINT, and reverse-shell exploitation, and I publish technical demos and write-ups on my GitHub to demonstrate my practical capabilities.
