What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities in cybersecurity, with a focus on risk management and innovative technologies.

I am a dedicated and detail-oriented cybersecurity analyst currently working at KPMG, where I conduct comprehensive cyber internal audits and gap assessments for major financial institutions. My academic background in Computer Engineering from the University of Massachusetts Amherst has equipped me with a strong foundation in data structures, algorithms, and machine learning, which I apply to real-world challenges in cybersecurity.

During my internship at Deloitte, I gained valuable experience in third-party risk assessments and threat analysis, further enhancing my analytical skills. I have a passion for algorithmic fairness in machine learning, and I have successfully implemented various projects, including a forest fire detection system and a peer-to-peer encrypted chat application, showcasing my technical proficiency in programming and hardware interfaces.
