What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a cybersecurity role where I can contribute to threat reconnaissance, vulnerability assessment, OSINT, and incident analysis while continuing to grow in enterprise threat management.

I've supported CoastIT on threat reconnaissance, OSINT investigations, and external attack-surface mapping, turning verified intelligence into technical reports and executive remediation advice.

Using Kali Linux and CSI Linux, I've performed network enumeration, vulnerability scanning, basic penetration testing, log analysis, and risk assessments. My work includes investigating weaknesses in Webmin and Usermin environments while maintaining legal and NDA compliance.

I'm CompTIA Security+ and PenTest+ certified and currently advancing my cybersecurity information analysis and enterprise threat management training. I also work with Java, SQL, Linux administration, and security tooling including Nmap, Metasploit, Maltego, and Subfinder.
