I’m an entry-level cybersecurity analyst building real-world detection platforms.
South AfricaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a detail-oriented cybersecurity professional with a Google Cybersecurity Professional Certificate and Cisco Foundations of Cybersecurity certification, focused on applying security principles to threat analysis and incident response. I’m seeking an entry-level Cybersecurity Analyst position where I can turn observations into actionable detections and safer systems.
In 2026, I built two production-grade security platforms end-to-end: a 32-screen Linux security auditing suite (Mint Scan v11.1) and a real-time network monitoring dashboard (Mint Net Scanner v3.0). Through live scanning, packet-level telemetry, forensics-oriented workflows, and automated firewall/control features, I demonstrate strong capability across network security, malware/rootkit detection, forensics, and technical documentation.
