Aspiring penetration tester specializing in red team operations, vulnerability assessment, and network security testing with Python and Nmap.
What I'm looking for
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.
