What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated cybersecurity specialist with a strong foundation in network security, incident response, and threat analysis and management. My experience includes working with SIEM tools, conducting threat investigations, and performing vulnerability assessments. I am passionate about cyber threat detection, risk mitigation, and optimizing IT infrastructure for seamless business operations.
During my internship at eKRAAL Innovation Hub, I developed a Flutter-based Weather mobile app, focusing on secure web API integration. I also conducted penetration testing on the app, which enhanced my skills in threat hunting and security controls. My projects, including simulating real-world attacks and implementing the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, showcase my commitment to strengthening my expertise in cybersecurity.
