What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on cybersecurity role to lead vulnerability assessments, policy development and staff training in a collaborative, compliance-focused environment (ISO/NIST) that invests in continuous security improvement.

I am a cybersecurity professional experienced in vulnerability assessments and penetration testing, incident investigation, and developing security policies aligned with ISO 27001 and NIST. I work across technical and non-technical teams to reduce risk and strengthen security posture.

At my current role I carried out detailed vulnerability assessments and penetration tests, investigated suspected security incidents, reviewed access controls, and developed cybersecurity policies and procedures adopted across departments. I also led security awareness training and created communication plans that resulted in a noticeable drop in reported security mistakes.

Earlier I worked as a software developer, which helps me bridge secure development and operations. I hold multiple certifications including CEH and Fortinet credentials, and I enjoy hands-on work that combines policy, technical controls, and staff training to drive continuous improvement.
