What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on cybersecurity role focused on penetration testing, threat detection, and automation within collaborative teams that value continuous learning and measurable security impact.

I am a Master’s graduate in Cybersecurity and Information Assurance with hands-on experience in penetration testing, threat analysis, digital forensics, and applied AI. I combine technical depth with practical deployment experience across IDS, monitoring, and automation.

I have built and deployed Suricata on Raspberry Pi using Docker, designed containerized network monitoring services, and applied Infrastructure-as-Code principles for repeatable, secure deployments. I also self-hosted a personal website with secure DNS, tunneling, HTTPS, and IaC-based configuration.

My scripting and automation work spans Python, Bash, PowerShell, and SQL for audit remediation and log analysis, and I have practical experience with tools such as Wireshark, Splunk, Nessus, Metasploit, Nmap, and Burp Suite. I continuously sharpen my skills through bug bounties, CTFs, labs, and certifications including CompTIA PenTest+, CySA+, and (ISC)² CC.

I bring a strong foundation in secure coding, SDLC integration, risk frameworks, and operational stability; I’m focused on delivering measurable security improvements and scalable, repeatable solutions.
