What I'm looking for

I am seeking an entry-level network or cybersecurity role where I can apply hands-on packet analysis, Cisco configuration, and security fundamentals while growing under experienced mentors.

I am a dedicated, detail-oriented network security trainee with a strong foundation in network infrastructure and cybersecurity principles. I combine hands-on training with practical project experience to secure and optimize network environments.

During my training at Cyberspace Foundation, I conducted packet captures and DNS analysis using Wireshark and identified DNS-related issues with recommended mitigations. I am proficient with Cisco Packet Tracer for simulating SOHO and small office networks, configuring routers and switches, IP addressing, VLAN routing, and basic cable management.

I have completed certifications and coursework from Cisco Networking Academy covering cyber threat management, network defense, endpoint security, and networking basics, as well as Fortinet Fortigate Operator material and ISC2 self-paced training. I apply strong analytical, documentation, and problem-solving skills to every assignment.

I deliver practical, security-focused network designs—examples include ARP poisoning simulations with mitigation strategies and a mapped PCI DSS v4.0 to NIST SP 800-53r5 exercise—demonstrating my commitment to secure, compliant network operations.
