About Me
“Securing systems, protecting data, and building reliable technology people can trust.”
I am an entry-level IT Security Analyst with a background in Computer Science and a strong foundation in IT systems, information security fundamentals, and risk-aware technology design. My academic focus emphasized cybersecurity, data protection, cloud computing concepts, and systems analysis, giving me experience working across both technical and operational aspects of IT environments. My work centers on understanding how systems function, how users interact with them, and how security controls can be applied without disrupting usability. I am particularly interested in roles that involve identity and access management, incident response fundamentals, and supporting secure, well-documented IT operations within regulated environments such as healthcare, finance, and enterprise organizations.
