What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic role in cybersecurity that fosters growth and innovation.

I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Applied Science in Information and Communication Sciences at TEK-UP University, where I am honing my skills in cybersecurity and network management. My academic journey has been complemented by hands-on experience through various internships, where I have developed a strong foundation in security tools and incident response.

During my final year internship, I am working on implementing a Security Operations Center (SOC) and conducting attack simulations using Atomic Red Team. This project has allowed me to utilize tools like Cortex for automating incident responses and TheHive for effective incident case management. Additionally, I have developed a machine learning model for a firewall, showcasing my ability to integrate advanced technologies into practical security solutions.
