What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth in cybersecurity, emphasizes teamwork, and allows me to implement innovative security solutions.

I am an experienced IT professional transitioning into cybersecurity, bringing a wealth of knowledge in network support, security audits, and change management. My expertise lies in safeguarding systems through comprehensive vulnerability assessments, malware analysis, and incident response strategies. I am adept at identifying and mitigating security vulnerabilities, implementing robust security protocols, and ensuring the protection of organizational data.

Currently, I work as an Infrastructure & Solutions Engineer at Nettobe Solutions, where I lead the deployment of tailored IT solutions and implement security best practices across infrastructures. My previous roles have equipped me with the skills to troubleshoot complex IT issues and prepare detailed technical documentation. I am eager to leverage my knowledge of cybersecurity frameworks and ITIL practices to fortify IT infrastructures against evolving cyber threats.
