What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth in cybersecurity, emphasizing teamwork and innovative problem-solving.

I am a dedicated cybersecurity professional with 7 years of experience in IT support, currently transitioning into cybersecurity. My certifications, including CISSP, Google Cybersecurity, and IBM Cybersecurity, reflect my commitment to mastering the field. I have a proven track record of optimizing systems and reducing downtime while implementing cybersecurity best practices to protect organizational assets.

In my role as a Field Network Support Specialist at Basexcel Technology Ltd, I designed and implemented secure LAN architectures for financial clients, achieving a 25% reduction in downtime. My collaborative efforts with the security team have enhanced network segmentation and patch management practices. I thrive in fast-paced environments, providing first-line support and resolving an average of 30 network issues weekly.

My journey in cybersecurity is driven by a passion for continuous learning and professional development. I actively engage in projects like TryHackMe Labs and have successfully integrated Okta for SSO using OAuth/OIDC protocols. I am eager to contribute my skills and knowledge to a forward-thinking organization that values innovation and security.
