What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a three-month industrial attachment where I can apply network security fundamentals, vulnerability assessment, and hands-on troubleshooting in a SOC/incident-response or network defense team.

I’m a Driven Computer Science student with a sharp focus on cybersecurity and network defense, currently completing a Bachelor’s in Applied Computer Science at Daystar University. I’m Certified in System and Network Security by IBM SkillsBuild and I’ve built hands-on exposure through network configuration, vulnerability assessment, and system hardening using tools like Wireshark and Cisco Packet Tracer.

Through my Network Support Attaché (Intern) experience at ISPMAN, I configured and deployed network equipment, onboarded new clients, provided first-line connectivity support, and diagnosed outages by identifying faults in routers, cabling, and network infrastructure. I’m analytical, self-directed, and solution-focused, and I bring that same energy into projects that pair clean web development with real security-minded thinking.
