What I'm looking for

I'm seeking an entry-level Cybersecurity Analyst, SOC Analyst, or IT Security role where I can contribute to protecting organisational infrastructure and data.

At Deloitte, I participated in SOC-style incident response for a simulated malware attack. I triaged alerts, analyzed malware behavior, and used Python scripting to assist in developing firewall rules.

During virtual internships with MasterCard, Tata Consultancy Services, and Telstra, I contributed to security awareness work, supported security controls, and analyzed web and activity logs for suspicious behavior.

I built a multithreaded Python port scanner using sockets and threading to identify open ports and services. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (Security and Network Engineering) from Eduvos Private Institute.
