## About

```text
I've supported cybersecurity operations at Pluracode Academy, analyzing cyber threats and implementing security protocols that reduced vulnerabilities by 30%.

I developed security awareness training that increased staff compliance by 50%, conducted system audits that improved security by 25%, and responded quickly to detected intrusions to help curb potential data breaches by 40%.

Previously, at Seven Stars Digital Global Venture, I provided IT support across hardware, software, connectivity, peripherals, system configuration, and basic network issues. I also supported data analysis, technical documentation, digital literacy, cybersecurity best practices, and graphics design collaboration.

As a TechMentor volunteer, I trained newcomers in threat intelligence, supported security-system and network troubleshooting, and helped upgrade network systems and maintain servers. I work with SIEM, firewalls, IDS/IPS, vulnerability assessment, log analysis, and incident response across Windows, Linux, and networked environments.
