What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, innovation, and collaboration in cybersecurity.

I am a dedicated cybersecurity professional with hands-on experience in threat detection, incident response, and securing both Windows and Linux environments. My expertise includes automating security workflows, managing Active Directory, and deploying essential tools such as Metasploit, Wireshark, and Burp Suite. I have a proven track record of enhancing security measures and streamlining processes, which has significantly improved operational efficiency.

Throughout my career, I have developed Bash and Python scripts that have reduced analysis time by 40%. My commitment to continuous learning is evident through my certifications in IT Support, System Administration, and Cybersecurity Basics from Google, as well as various AWS and Microsoft certifications. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to contribute to a secure digital environment and am always eager to tackle new challenges in the cybersecurity landscape.
