What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters growth in IT, with a focus on cybersecurity and data management.

I am currently a student at Thomas More University in Belgium, pursuing a degree in Data Science, Protection & Security. My journey in the IT field began with internships at the Medical Research Council, where I gained hands-on experience in system administration and customer service. I have collaborated with senior engineers to enhance IT infrastructure and streamline workflows, showcasing my ability to adapt and learn quickly in dynamic environments.

During my recent internship as a System Admin Intern at Optimy, I played a vital role in migrating user accounts and data into Google Workspace, implementing a new PBX phone system, and automating the employee onboarding process. My technical skills include proficiency in C# and Python, as well as experience with PowerShell scripting for task automation. I am passionate about leveraging technology to improve organizational efficiency and user experience.
