What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers hands-on experience in cybersecurity, a collaborative team environment, and opportunities for professional growth.

I am a Master's student in Information Security at ITMO University, where I am honing my skills and knowledge in cyber defence, security operations, and incident response. My academic journey has provided me with hands-on experience through SOC simulation labs, where I analyzed simulated phishing and brute-force attacks using SIEM tools. I have a solid understanding of regulatory compliance principles, including ISO 27001 and GDPR, which I have applied in various projects, such as drafting access control and incident response guidelines.

In addition to my academic pursuits, I completed an internship as a Data Analyst with MTN ACE Career Program, where I monitored data accuracy for internal systems and supported the creation of dashboards for business intelligence. I am eager to learn and contribute to real-world security challenges, particularly in a mission-driven team like Eye Security, where I can apply my knowledge and continue to grow in the field of cybersecurity.
