I am a cybersecurity lecturer, analyst, and IT professional with over 4 years of hands-on experience in securing networks, systems, and applications. I hold a CEH certification and have practical expertise in vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, incident response, and SIEM deployment, including Wazuh and ELK stack integration. In my current role, I design and deliver cybersecurity training programs, implement threat intelligence enrichment, and guide organizations on best practices in identity and access management, endpoint security, and compliance. I am skilled in network segmentation, firewall management, and automation using Python and Bash, with experience supporting both small-scale startups and enterprise environments. I am passionate about leveraging technology to create secure, scalable, and compliant systems that protect critical data while enabling organizational growth. My goal is to continue driving cybersecurity excellence and innovation while mentoring teams and improving security postures across organizations.
