Penetration Tester intern at Trillium Information Security Systems supporting red team tests that identify exploitable network and web vulnerabilities.
What I'm looking for
At Trillium Information Security Systems, I support red team engagements through network and web application penetration testing, identifying exploitable vulnerabilities across client environments. I also assist with documenting findings and remediation recommendations in penetration test reports.
At Safex Solutions, I monitor security alerts and network traffic using SIEM tools, and support incident response through triage, investigation, and escalation. I use Wireshark to analyze traffic for anomalous or malicious activity.
Through virtual cybersecurity internships at Mastercard and AIG, I completed simulations in threat detection, incident response, and vulnerability assessment, and practiced identifying security gaps and proposing mitigations.
For my BS-IT project, FleetFuel, I designed and developed a full-stack fuel delivery web application across its front end, back end, and database layers, applying secure coding practices to protect user data and prevent common web vulnerabilities.
