What I'm looking for

I seek hands-on cybersecurity roles focused on penetration testing, vulnerability management, and SOC work within collaborative teams that value learning and impact.

I am a motivated, detail-oriented cybersecurity professional with hands-on experience in penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, and network defense. I have identified and reported real-world vulnerabilities (bug bounty) and deployed honeypots to analyze attacker behavior, using tools such as Burp Suite, Metasploit, Nmap, Nessus and Wireshark.

I combine offensive and defensive skills—reconnaissance, exploit validation, and SIEM-based analysis—and hold certifications including CEH and CCNA. I am passionate about continuous learning, producing professional disclosure reports, and strengthening organizational cyber defenses.
