What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters growth in cybersecurity, emphasizing compliance and innovative security solutions.

I am a dedicated cybersecurity professional with a strong foundation in compliance and risk management. My experience as a Cybersecurity & Compliance Analyst at Jupiter Research Services Inc. has equipped me with the skills to ensure regulatory compliance and implement robust data security policies. I have successfully conducted risk assessments and managed vulnerability mitigation efforts, addressing critical vulnerabilities and enhancing operational procedures.

Previously, as a Penetration Tester at Grownix Ventures, I led numerous penetration tests and vulnerability assessments, uncovering significant security risks and contributing to the development of effective incident response procedures. My hands-on experience in ethical hacking and web security, combined with my academic background in Computer Science, positions me as a valuable asset in any cybersecurity team.
