What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters continuous learning and growth in cybersecurity, ideally within a collaborative team that values innovation and security best practices.

I am a passionate Junior Cybersecurity Engineer with hands-on experience in threat detection, incident response, vulnerability management, cloud security, and penetration testing. My journey began with a Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering, which provided me with a solid foundation in project management and engineering principles. Over the past few years, I have transitioned into cybersecurity, dedicating over 1,300 hours to intensive training and practical experience.

During my recent internship at Kozalak UG, I developed and monitored custom Splunk dashboards to detect security anomalies and conducted web application vulnerability assessments using Nessus and Qualys. I am skilled in using various cybersecurity tools, including EDR for incident detection and response, and I have a foundational knowledge of cloud security, particularly with AWS. I am eager to leverage my technical skills and passion for continuous learning in a dynamic cybersecurity role.
