What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a cybersecurity role where I can investigate vulnerabilities and incidents, apply OSINT and threat intelligence to improve defenses, collaborate with teams on real-world mitigations, and grow through impactful research and hands-on security delivery.

I’m a cybersecurity researcher and lecturer who helps organizations defend systems by understanding how attackers exploit weaknesses. I focus on vulnerability and incident analysis, then translate findings into practical mitigation strategies.

In my current role, I identify and analyze vulnerabilities in systems and technologies to improve how they’re protected from cyber threats. I also investigate malware, analyze security incidents, and contribute to hands-on teaching by guiding and advising learners across Operating Systems, Web Development, Research Methodology, and Academic Projects.

Previously, I worked as a Cybersecurity Consultant and Information Technology Consultant, assessing security measures, identifying vulnerabilities, and ensuring compliance with relevant regulations and standards. I use open-source intelligence methods for information gathering, conduct research in IT and computer science, and support clients by diagnosing infrastructure faults, optimizing workflows, and improving operational procedures with data-driven recommendations.

Earlier in my career, I held roles in functional consulting and IT administration where I supported systems and networks, troubleshot software/hardware and Internet connectivity issues, and helped teams deliver successfully under tight deadlines. I also bring a strong reliability mindset from technical experience monitoring and maintaining power supply systems, diagnosing faults, installing components, and ensuring safety-compliant maintenance.
