What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to grow in cybersecurity, where I can apply my technical skills and contribute to meaningful projects.

I'm currently pursuing a Bachelor of Computer and Information Sciences at Auckland University of Technology, specializing in Networks and Cybersecurity. My academic journey has been marked by a GPA of 7.83/9.0, reflecting my commitment to excellence in my field. I have gained practical experience through projects, including developing an Automated Vulnerability Management tool for Deloitte, where I collaborated with a team to enhance their security processes.

In addition to my academic achievements, I have honed my technical skills in networking and software tools. My projects have involved designing secure network topologies and managing Scrum processes to improve workflow efficiency. I am proficient in various programming languages, including Java and C, and have a solid understanding of operating systems and network protocols. I am eager to leverage my skills and knowledge in a professional environment.
