What I'm looking for

I am seeking DevSecOps or cybersecurity roles where I can secure CI/CD pipelines, lead incident response, train teams, and grow in a collaborative, learning-focused company that values continuous improvement and practical impact.

I am a DevSecOps engineer with a BSc in Information Security and Forensics and a CCNA certification. I integrate security into DevOps pipelines and lead incident response to protect applications, infrastructure, and networks.

At Digital Qatalyst, Cyberpro Global and Wodex Technologies I automated CI/CD security testing, managed vulnerability scanning and remediation, trained teams and clients, and delivered technical support and tailored network solutions that improved reliability.

I also design responsive websites and configure servers and firewalls while volunteering as a communications director. I thrive in collaborative, fast-paced environments where I mentor others and continuously learn to strengthen organizational security.
