What I'm looking for

I seek an entry-level cybersecurity role focused on hands-on network and cloud defenses, incident response, and growth within a collaborative security team.

I am a dynamic cybersecurity professional with strong foundations in network security, threat and vulnerability assessment, and incident analysis. I have hands-on experience implementing defenses such as WAFs, Layer 7 protections, and SSL/TLS configuration, and I build practical security tools and models to harden environments.

My projects include engineering a reverse-proxy Web Application Firewall to mitigate OWASP Top 10 risks, simulating phishing campaigns with Gophish to measure user susceptibility, and developing a deep learning model to detect insider-threat behaviors. I complement project work with internships and certifications from industry leaders, including Google Cybersecurity, Microsoft Azure Fundamentals, and Cisco CCNA coursework.

I actively apply skills from TryHackMe, HackTheBox, and LetsDefend labs to stay current, and I contribute to campus initiatives through ideathons and student leadership. I am eager to join a fast-paced security team where I can apply practical defenses, expand cloud and zero-trust expertise, and help secure critical systems.
