What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role in a dynamic environment that fosters growth and innovation in information security.

I am a dedicated security analyst with a strong foundation in vulnerability and configuration assessment. My journey began with a Bachelor of Engineering in Electronics, followed by professional certifications in system administration and ethical hacking. I have honed my skills in vulnerability management, working with tools like Tenable Nessus and Rapid7 to ensure robust security measures for organizations.

During my tenure at PwC and Inspira Enterprise, I successfully managed vulnerability assessments for over 5000 servers, providing detailed reports to IT teams and troubleshooting scanning issues. My experience includes conducting compliance audits, customizing audit scripts, and creating dashboards for management oversight. I am passionate about information security and continuously seek opportunities to enhance my skills and contribute to organizational goals.
