What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges me in cybersecurity, offers growth opportunities, and fosters a collaborative environment.

I am a recent Software Engineering graduate with a strong focus on cybersecurity, network security, and incident response. My education and certifications, including ISC2 and Cisco Cybersecurity tracks, have equipped me with hands-on experience in deploying CONTACT SIEM, conducting vulnerability assessments, and developing secure tools. I am passionate about designing encryption systems and utilizing Python to build security tools that effectively identify and mitigate security threats.

During my internship at GIXConsulting, I processed and cleaned large geospatial datasets for forestry and carbon mapping projects, while also designing custom Python scripts for tree canopy reconstruction. My freelance work as a Cybersecurity Analyst has allowed me to conduct vulnerability assessments for small businesses, build custom security tools, and provide security awareness training to end users. I thrive in collaborative environments and am dedicated to achieving project goals while ensuring the highest standards of security.
