About Me
Get to know more about my journey and expertise
Cybersecurity MSc graduate with 4+ years of professional software engineering experience building and securing cloud-based applications. Strong foundation across security operations, governance & compliance (GRC), application security, and secure system design.
Experienced in access control, encryption, secure API integration, GDPR-aligned data handling, and incident-aware support environments. Seeking an entry-level cybersecurity role where technical depth and risk-focused thinking can support secure and compliant systems.
Throughout my career, I've developed enterprise-grade web applications using Vue.js and Nuxt.js, implemented Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to enforce least-privilege access, and integrated secure APIs with authentication tokens and robust error handling.
My academic research focused on enhancing data integrity, security, and access control in cloud-based inventory management systems, applying AES encryption, RSA key exchange, and role-based access control to protect data integrity and prevent unauthorized access.
