What I'm looking for

I seek roles at companies prioritizing secure, cloud‑native development where I can apply backend and cybersecurity skills, grow in incident response and pen‑testing, and contribute to secure, compliant systems.

I am a versatile IT professional transitioning from backend and full‑stack development into cybersecurity, combining hands‑on Python/Django experience with cloud‑native technologies on AWS and Azure.

As a freelancer I design and maintain dynamic web applications and REST APIs, build CI/CD pipelines, and optimise backend systems for performance and scalability, applying OOP and SOLID principles.

I have practical cybersecurity experience supporting incident triage, evaluating security tools (Snort, Suricata), integrating with Active Directory/Azure, and producing documentation aligned with NIST and ISO/IEC 27001 standards.

Currently pursuing a BSc in Information Technology and CCNA certified, I annotate AI/ML datasets, work with JSON data verification, and am expanding into incident response, penetration testing, and regulatory compliance to strengthen digital trust.
