What I'm looking for

I am seeking opportunities that allow me to leverage my cybersecurity skills in a dynamic environment, focusing on continuous learning and professional growth.

I am a dedicated information security and forensics professional with a strong focus on cyber threat management. My expertise lies in utilizing digital forensic tools, OSINT techniques, and conducting vulnerability assessments to ensure robust incident response and system protection. I have hands-on experience with advanced technologies such as Wireshark, Autopsy, and Nessus, which I leverage to enhance security measures and protect organizational data.

In my role as an ICT Officer Intern, I supported network infrastructure, system maintenance, and web creation, contributing to operational efficiency. Currently, I am an Assistant Research/Data Analyst at Sanfay Research Consulting Ltd, where I conduct comprehensive research and perform advanced data analysis using SPSS, ensuring high-quality research outputs. I am passionate about using my technological expertise to improve information systems cybersecurity and protect systems from emerging threats.
