@lloydowen
I help secure Linux and networks through vulnerability management, routing, and hands-on cyber defense work.
What I'm looking for
I’m a cyber security-focused IT professional with practical training from XeDrix Yrkeshögskolan and hands-on experience supporting networks and systems in real environments. I enjoy turning security goals into measurable outcomes—like vulnerability management, protection strategies, and reliable operations.
My background includes Linux systems administration with 2nd line support, where I’ve worked with server management and day-to-day infrastructure tasks. I’ve also supported users and subscriptions, handled hardware/software issues, and contributed to LAN network and system maintenance across multiple roles.
In my cyber security learning and projects, I’ve focused on vulnerability management, network security practices, and case/project work designed for practical application in SMEs. I bring solid networking fundamentals (CCNA/CCNP topics) and security tooling experience to help teams reduce risk and keep services running.
