What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Cybersecurity Analyst with a strong foundation in vulnerability assessment and network security.

I have a proven track record of deploying and configuring AWS VPC infrastructure, ensuring secure server setups, and utilizing advanced tools such as Splunk and Kibana for network traffic analysis.
Prior to my role in cybersecurity, I honed my technical support skills at Tesla, where I guided customers through electric vehicle purchases and contributed to the enhancement of self-driving technology. My background in IT, including positions at Bureau Veritas Group and Diebold Nixdorf, has equipped me with a diverse skill set in troubleshooting, system deployment, and network management across various platforms. I am passionate about leveraging my technical expertise to enhance organizational security and contribute to innovative solutions.
