@krisuser2
I am an analytical Cybersecurity Analyst specializing in incident response and AI-supported data operations.
What I'm looking for
I am a solutions-driven Cybersecurity Analyst with a Master’s in Cybersecurity and hands-on experience in incident response, vulnerability assessment, system hardening, and secure programming. I have applied industry tools like Wireshark, Metasploit, Snort, and Burp Suite across practical labs and client engagements.
I have supported AI model development and data operations through detailed data labeling, search evaluation, and quality-focused remote work, delivering consistent performance for platform-based projects. I founded a veteran-owned consulting business to provide accessible cybersecurity services to individuals and small businesses, and I document my work and labs in public GitHub repositories.
I bring precise technical documentation, strong remote collaboration skills, and a commitment to translating technical requirements into actionable security strategies that protect systems and support business objectives.
