What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an entry-level role where I can build Java/SQL backend features and support security work—intrusion detection, incident response, and GRC-driven risk management—while growing fast in cloud-based, hands-on teams.

I’m an aspiring Java Development and Cybersecurity professional with a strong foundation in backend development, network security, and cloud technologies. I’ve built scalable applications while securing networks using tools like Snort, OSSEC, and Wazuh, backed by solid expertise in Java, SQL, and AWS.

I’m hands-on about security work—configuring multi-node intrusion detection, writing custom Snort rules, and integrating Snort logs into Wazuh for centralized visibility. Through projects like a blockchain-based file upload verification system and an ML-based NIDS using Raspberry Pi (with Tcpdump log analysis), plus Forage virtual experience investigating phishing and malware with Python-based firewall rules, I bring strong problem-solving and a real-world, learning-driven approach.
