About Me

I'm a proactive and detail-oriented Cybersecurity Professional with hands-on experience in ethical hacking, penetration testing, and system security analysis. Currently working as a Security Analyst, I specialize in identifying vulnerabilities, conducting network traffic analysis, and implementing effective mitigation strategies. I possess a deep understanding of network fundamentals, the OSI model, and VPN technologies. Proficient in security tools like Nmap, Wireshark, Burp Suite, and Metasploit, I'm also skilled in configuring Linux distributions (Kali, Parrot) and macOS systems. I consistently rank among the top performers on platforms like TryHackMe (top 7%) and Hack The Box (top 18%), actively expanding my skills through practical challenges that simulate real-world security scenarios.
