What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges my skills and offers opportunities for professional growth in a dynamic cybersecurity environment.

I am a dedicated Cyber Security Consultant with extensive experience in assessing and enhancing the security posture of financial institutions. My role at MangoInfosec Solutions involves conducting detailed assessments of SWIFT environments, ensuring compliance with mandatory controls, and providing strategic advisory services for SWIFT CSP implementation. I have successfully led security assessments on critical infrastructures and executed stress tests on mobile applications, identifying vulnerabilities and ensuring robust performance under extreme conditions.

In my previous role as a Cyber Security Engineer at CyberAssure, I collaborated with clients to analyze their security needs and recommend effective tools and technologies. My efforts in vulnerability assessments and penetration testing have significantly reduced security risks for various organizations. I have also managed operational technology security initiatives, ensuring the protection of critical information infrastructures in the energy and mining sectors. My commitment to cybersecurity extends to conducting market research to stay ahead of emerging threats and trends.
