What I'm looking for
As a highly motivated and internationally diverse IT/OT Cybersecurity enthusiast, I bring a strong background in Industrial Engineering and Management, with a Master's degree in Project Management. My experience spans various fields, including Automotive, Industrial Communication and Identification, and Logistics. I am passionate about IT/OT Cybersecurity and enjoy working on personal technical projects in both Offensive and Defensive Cybersecurity.
With a solid educational foundation, I have completed a Certificate of Achievement in Cybersecurity and Information Security Analyst and am expected to receive my CompTIA Sec+ certification in January 2025. My technical skills include proficiency in languages such as Java and Python, as well as experience with operating systems, database systems, and software applications like Confluence, Figma, and Jira.
Through various technical projects and activities, I have deepened my knowledge and hands-on experience in cybersecurity, including programming a blackjack game with Python, participating in capture-the-flag challenges, and setting up a home lab with Kali Linux. I am excited to apply my skills and knowledge in a professional setting and continue to grow and learn in the field of IT/OT Cybersecurity.
