What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth in cybersecurity and data science, with a collaborative culture and opportunities to tackle real-world challenges.

I am a dedicated computer science student specializing in cybersecurity, with a strong focus on threat mitigation and data science. My passion lies in leveraging AI and machine learning to derive actionable insights and intelligent solutions. I have gained practical experience through various internships and job simulations, where I honed my skills in incident response, security analysis, and software engineering.

During my internship at ADM Smart Solutions, I contributed to access control and security solution projects, applying software engineering principles to enhance project outcomes. I consistently met deadlines and exceeded expectations, earning commendations for my reliability and strong work ethic. Additionally, I have completed multiple job simulations, including roles at Mastercard and Commonwealth Bank, where I developed skills in fraud detection, data visualization, and incident management.

Currently, I am enrolled in the TechHerUp Program, focusing on data science, where I am gaining expertise in data analysis, machine learning algorithms, and statistical methods. I am eager to apply my knowledge and skills to real-world challenges, contributing to innovative solutions in the cybersecurity and data science fields.
