What I'm looking for

I'm looking to identify vulnerabilities, improve organizational security, and keep developing my penetration testing and offensive-security skills through hands-on work.

I've supported a live business penetration testing engagement at Holberton School Azerbaijan, contributing documented vulnerability findings while advancing my cybersecurity training.

During my penetration testing internship at Intern Intelligence, I conducted reconnaissance, scanning, exploitation, and vulnerability assessments using Nmap, Gobuster, and WPScan. I also performed static and dynamic malware analysis to identify malicious behavior and indicators of compromise.

I'm building practical offensive-security capability across web security, network security, OSINT, pivoting, lateral movement, and Active Directory fundamentals. My certifications include eJPTv2 and Certified Red Team Analyst.

Beyond technical work, I've mentored nine students in Red Team and offensive-security topics at FutureDev Camp UNEC and facilitated Peer Learning Day sessions. I bring a collaborative, continuous-learning mindset to improving organizational security.
