What I'm looking for

I seek hands-on cybersecurity roles in SOC, threat hunting, or incident response at collaborative teams focused on secure development, cloud security, mentorship, and measurable impact.

I am a cybersecurity professional with hands-on experience in SOC operations, threat hunting, vulnerability assessment, and incident response. I hold a Master of Information Technology in Cybersecurity and am a current member of the Australian Computer Society.

I have supported incident analysis, conducted vulnerability scans and penetration testing, and hardened web systems to reduce attack surface. My practical experience spans SIEM tools, EDR, log analysis, and secure infrastructure management.

I've engineered cloud-native security solutions, including a Secure API plugin with TLS 1.3, input filtering, rate limiting, and anomaly detection, and completed real-world vulnerability assessments using Kali Linux, Metasploit, Nmap, and Wireshark. I deliver clear remediation guidance aligned with compliance needs.

I am analytical, detail-oriented, and adaptable; I communicate technical findings to stakeholders, educate users on secure practices, and contribute to process improvements that strengthen enterprise security posture.
