I’m a security-focused IT professional with CompTIA Security+ and Linux+ credentials.

What I'm looking for

I’m seeking an entry-level role where I can apply my CompTIA Security+ and CompTIA Linux+ knowledge, learn from experienced teammates, and grow into stronger cybersecurity and Linux support responsibilities.

I’m building a strong foundation in practical IT security and Linux operations through recognized certifications.

I hold the “CompTIA Security+ certification exam” (Criteria: SY0-701; Valid Through: Sunday, April 22, 2029), reflecting my commitment to safeguarding systems and information.

I also hold the “CompTIA Linux+ Certification Exam” (Criteria: XK0-006; Valid Through: Sunday, April 29, 2029), strengthening my ability to work confidently with Linux environments.

I’m looking for opportunities where I can apply these credentials, continue developing real-world security and Linux skills, and contribute reliably to a team.
