What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an opportunity where I can apply Linux/DNS and cybersecurity fundamentals through penetration testing and digital forensics. I want to work on real security improvements with strong compliance awareness and continuous learning in emerging technologies.

I’m an IT and cybersecurity professional with expertise in Linux administration, DNS configuration, and network security. I combine cybersecurity fundamentals with hands-on learning in penetration testing and digital forensics to strengthen organizational protection.

In my role as an ICT Attachee, I’ve demonstrated initiative in fast-paced environments while adapting quickly to changing priorities. I bring strong communication, teamwork, and a detail-first approach to completing tasks accurately and on time.

My academic and lab projects deepen my practical capability—installing and configuring BIND9 DNS, building an Apache web server setup, and developing a Flask dashboard. I also practice intrusion detection, vulnerability assessments, and digital evidence collection and analysis.

I’m committed to continuous learning in emerging technologies and security frameworks, and I’m motivated to help teams improve security measures through reliable, well-reasoned work.
