What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to grow in cybersecurity, focusing on risk management and incident response, within a supportive and innovative team environment.

I am a self-driven cybersecurity professional with a passion for protecting systems and data. My goal is to identify and mitigate security risks while ensuring a secure user experience. I thrive in fast-paced environments, adapt quickly to evolving threats, and am motivated to enhance security through proactive risk management.

With certifications such as CompTIA Security+ and Google Cybersecurity Analyst, I have developed a strong foundation in securing network devices, configuring firewalls, and implementing VPNs. My experience includes threat detection, log analysis, and incident response using SIEM tools, as well as knowledge of compliance frameworks like NIST and ISO. I am excited to bring my skills to a forward-thinking company and contribute to a strong cybersecurity team.
