What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic environment where I can grow my cybersecurity skills and contribute to innovative security solutions.

I am a Computer Engineering graduate with a strong interest in cybersecurity and emerging technologies. I have completed the Google Cybersecurity Certificate program and am currently an ISC2 Candidate, which has provided me with a solid foundation in threat analysis, network security, and incident response. My analytical mindset and problem-solving skills drive my eagerness to contribute to real-world security teams.

Throughout my academic journey, I have gained practical experience in security operations, threat detection, and risk mitigation. I have worked with tools such as SIEMs and firewalls, and I am familiar with Linux, TCP/IP, and various security frameworks. I am actively seeking a Cybersecurity Intern role to apply my technical skills and gain hands-on experience in securing digital environments.
