What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities in cybersecurity, a collaborative culture, and the chance to tackle challenging security issues.

I am a Cyber Security Engineer with a strong expertise in risk assessment, threat detection, and compliance. My journey in cybersecurity has equipped me with the skills to secure networks, investigate incidents, and implement effective cybersecurity strategies. I have a solid background in threat intelligence, vulnerability management, and security operations, which has enabled me to contribute significantly to various projects.

Throughout my career, I have achieved notable successes, including identifying critical vulnerabilities for organizations such as Hackerone and Unchained, where I discovered broken access control issues that earned me recognition and financial rewards. My experience as a Cyber Security Engineer Intern at Virtually Testing Foundation and as an Information Security Analyst at MyPay has further honed my skills in penetration testing and vulnerability assessment.
