@silasaosige
I am a cybersecurity and cloud professional skilled in vulnerability assessments and secure cloud architectures.
What I'm looking for
I am a dynamic cybersecurity and cloud computing professional with hands-on experience in vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, and serverless architectures.
I have configured and deployed EC2 instances, managed Lambda functions, and designed secure VPC architectures while using tools such as Wazuh, Burp Suite, Metasploit, ELK, and Wireshark for detection and analysis. I built a serverless image resizer and deployed Node.js applications using EC2, PM2, and Nginx.
I hold a BSc in Computer Science, am pursuing an MPhil in Cybersecurity and Digital Forensics, and hold certifications including AWS Certified Solutions Architect and Microsoft Azure Fundamentals. I seek roles where I can protect systems and deliver secure, scalable cloud-native solutions.
