What I'm looking for

I'm seeking an entry-level cybersecurity or IT security analyst role where I can apply analytical, technical, and organizational skills in a growth-focused organization.

I'm transitioning from operations and project coordination into cybersecurity, supported by structured coursework and certifications in cybersecurity fundamentals, threat intelligence, and hunting.

In my cybersecurity project work, I designed SIEM architecture, conducted vulnerability management and firewall hardening, and led purple team exercises using MITRE ATT&CK and STRIDE.

I also completed a personal cyber hygiene audit covering device inventory, MFA, privacy settings, and backups, producing a Security Improvement Plan aligned with NIST CSF and CISA guidance.

At Halfik Service Limited, I coordinated labor and machinery, tracked site expenses, prepared daily management reports, and supported communication between field staff and management.
