What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can run penetration tests and strengthen security operations, work cross-functionally to fix vulnerabilities, and keep learning through practical challenges with clear, measurable outcomes.

I’m a reliable, fast-learning, and results-driven professional who supports daily operations and security functions with minimal supervision. I’m known for strong communication, attention to detail, and a proactive, confidentiality-first approach.

In penetration testing, I conduct controlled assessments across systems, networks, APIs, cloud environments, and web/mobile apps to identify vulnerabilities and evaluate resilience. I use tools like Nmap, Burp Suite, Nessus, Metasploit, Nikto, and Wireshark, documenting exploited vulnerabilities, attack vectors, and risk impact—then recommending security controls, patches, and mitigation strategies for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

On the security operations side, I monitor SIEM dashboards, firewalls, IDS/IPS, and logs to detect and respond to suspicious activity. I perform incident triage and investigate malware, phishing attempts, and unauthorized access—collecting and analyzing digital evidence and supporting containment, eradication, and recovery while maintaining incident logs and compliance alignment (ISO 27001, NIST, GDPR, PCI-DSS). I also deliver staff training and explore security automation with Python/Shell, along with cloud monitoring such as AWS GuardDuty and Azure Sentinel.

Beyond cybersecurity, I bring leadership and operational discipline from branch management, team supervision, and product oversight roles. I’ve managed day-to-day operations, inventory and compliance, customer service, budgeting, and reporting; led sales/credit teams with KYC and risk controls; and coordinated quality control and product improvement—skills I bring to security reporting, remediation follow-ups, and cross-team collaboration.
