Entry-level network security engineer focused on Cisco routing, switching, and vulnerability assessment.
What I'm looking for
I’m a cybersecurity graduate with a strong foundation in networking, specializing in Cisco infrastructure, routing & switching protocols, and network security. I hold both CCNA and CompTIA Security+ certifications, and I’m comfortable configuring and troubleshooting Cisco routers and switches while applying structured vulnerability assessment.
In my internship experience, I conducted penetration testing and produced security assessment reports, supported ISO 27001 audit processes, and helped develop compliance strategies. I also gained DevOps exposure through containerization/orchestration in CI/CD environments and built secure applications—including an internal clinical web app—by implementing access controls, secure API handling, and ongoing system maintenance.
