What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can grow in penetration testing and offensive security operations—using lab and real-world testing, strong mentorship, and modern monitoring—to improve reliability, reporting, and threat detection skills.

I’m a Google Cybersecurity Professional Certificate holder and an ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity (CC) professional, specializing in Red Team operations and offensive security methods. I focus on network security testing through reconnaissance, scanning, and lab-based vulnerability assessment to understand how threats and attack patterns form.

I work with Linux systems and basic security operations using Python programming, Wireshark, and Nmap, alongside SIEM monitoring systems to identify network security weaknesses. I combine strong networking fundamentals with analytical thinking to prepare for real-world cybersecurity challenges.

I’ve built practical experience through Afwest International Security as an IT Personnel (Intern) and as a Controller, where I supported troubleshooting, system monitoring, compliance, and reporting. I also validate my skills by winning Cybersecurity Capture the Flag (CTF) and running a personal home lab for penetration testing, privilege escalation, and system hardening—plus I’ve automated security practice with Python and PyQt5 tools.
