Over three years of hands on experience as a cybersecurity professional in penetration testing, vulnerability assessments, and security analysis of computer systems. I have developed practical offensive-security skills through participation in the various capture-the-flag platforms (TryHackMe, Hack The Box) that I also participated in SANS and WiCyS competitions and through formalized tabletop exercises that were conducted by members of my local cybersecurity resource group. As well as being able to analyse complex systems, adapt to new technical environments and communicate results clearly. I also currently hold an active Secret clearance which authorize me handle unclassified data.AREAS OF EXPERTISE
