What I'm looking for

I seek an entry-level cybersecurity role focusing on incident response, SIEM monitoring, and vulnerability assessment in a collaborative, learning-focused team where I can grow technical skills and contribute to secure, stable enterprise systems.

I am a Computer Science undergraduate specializing in cybersecurity, with hands-on experience in SIEM tools, endpoint security, incident response, vulnerability assessment, and secure network configuration. I have applied these skills in enterprise contexts during an internship where I conducted real-time log analysis, network traffic review, and configured Cisco CUCM-based IP telephony systems.

I build security-focused tools and labs—developing a Python web vulnerability scanner that detects SQL injection and XSS, and deploying an enterprise IP telephony lab during my internship. I pursue practical certifications and coursework to strengthen my technical foundation and deliver reliable, security-first solutions.
