What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role in a dynamic team that values growth and innovation, where I can apply my cybersecurity skills and continue to learn.

I am an aspiring IT and cybersecurity professional with over four years of experience in technical audio engineering. My journey has led me to become certified through Google’s Cybersecurity Certificate program, where I gained hands-on training in tools such as Splunk and Linux, alongside threat analysis. I have a proven ability to troubleshoot systems and protect workflows, ensuring secure operations even under pressure.

In my current role as Lead Audio Engineer and Studio Manager, I have successfully performed over 150 monthly sessions without data loss by implementing custom session protocols that secure client workflows. My technical expertise has allowed me to diagnose and resolve system-wide issues, optimizing performance and reliability. I strive to bring my creative and technical problem-solving skills to a fast-paced, impact-driven team where I can continue to grow and contribute.
