What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my hands-on experience in intrusion detection, vulnerability assessment, network security, and technical project delivery in a cybersecurity or network security role.

I've delivered six-plus cybersecurity, digital forensics, and computer networking projects as a freelance consultant, taking work from planning and implementation through documentation for clients across multiple universities.

I configure and assess Linux and Windows environments using Wireshark, Nmap, Metasploit, Snort, Splunk, and Kali Linux. My work includes network configuration, vulnerability assessment, security analysis, and translating technical findings into clear guidance for non-technical stakeholders.

I've built and tested Snort-based intrusion detection and DDoS mitigation projects, and developed a privacy-preserving federated learning model for cardiovascular disease prediction using secure communication and access-control techniques. My background is supported by cybersecurity virtual internships with Zscaler, Palo Alto, and Prodigy InfoTech, plus published research in privacy-preserving federated learning.
