Cyber Security Analyst
As a seasoned cybersecurity consultant with over 3 years of experience, I specialize in securing applications and networks. My expertise extends to designing comprehensive cybersecurity roadmaps and implementing robust data security measures. Whether it’s safeguarding sensitive information or ensuring compliance with industry standards, I’ve got you covered. I hold a master’s degree from Concordia University in Canada, where I honed my skills and gained a deep understanding of information security principles.
Python is my go-to language for scripting and automation. Whether it’s building custom tools or streamlining processes, I thrive on writing clean and efficient Python code. I’m not just about security — I also have a knack for web development. From creating sleek and responsive websites to optimizing user experiences, I bring creativity and functionality together.
