What I'm looking for

I'm seeking Cybersecurity, Security Analyst, SOC, IT help desk, Customer Success, or Client/Virtual Assistant roles with US, UK, or global teams that value fast learning, ownership, pattern recognition, and proactive problem-solving.

I'm transitioning into cybersecurity after building eight years of experience protecting customer trust, resolving issues early, and managing client relationships at Bhagatji Hardware and Bhagatji Supermarket.

At Bhagatji Hardware, I managed up to 10 client accounts, maintained 80%+ customer satisfaction and 85%+ retention, and worked with suppliers and manufacturers to diagnose hardware issues and improve service. Previously, I supervised 6–15 retail and operations staff, managed inventory, verified goods against purchase orders, and delivered accurate stock reporting.

I'm building hands-on Linux and SQL skills through the Google Cybersecurity Certificate and studying toward CompTIA Security+, with SOC analyst work as my target. I bring pattern recognition, calm de-escalation, clear communication, and ownership to security, IT support, customer success, and virtual assistant opportunities.
