What I'm looking for

I’m seeking an entry-level or internship role in blue team, threat detection, or vulnerability analysis.

I’m a third-year Cybersecurity Engineering student building my experience through vulnerability research, digital forensics, threat detection, and hands-on security testing. I enjoy learning by working on practical security challenges, CTFs, vulnerability research, and security labs, and I’m particularly interested in understanding how vulnerabilities are identified, investigated, and responsibly reported.

I’m looking for an entry-level or internship opportunity where I can apply what I’ve learned, contribute to real security work, and continue developing as a cybersecurity professional. My main interests are vulnerability research, blue team, threat detection, digital forensics, and security analysis, with a preference for remote and international opportunities.
