@trustekpo
Project-driven cybersecurity graduate student with technical experience.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated cybersecurity graduate student with over three years of technical experience, specializing in compliance, data analysis, and security automation. My academic journey has equipped me with a robust portfolio of projects that demonstrate my ability to analyze complex security issues and propose effective solutions. I am particularly adept at audit documentation, threat modeling, and process diagramming, which I believe are crucial skills in today's cybersecurity landscape.
Throughout my studies, I have led significant projects, including an in-depth analysis of the 2021 Microsoft Exchange breach, where I assessed attacker tactics and proposed mitigations. My hands-on experience with tools like Suricata and Wireshark has allowed me to develop custom rules for intrusion detection and conduct vulnerability testing on web applications. I am passionate about applying my security knowledge and analytical thinking to contribute to BCHydro’s Risk and Compliance team, ensuring the protection of critical infrastructure.
