I am a highly experienced and motivated IT professional, specializing in software development, integration of Computer networks and Information Security systems. I have achieved a great amount of success, such as being the winner of the German Make-IT Digitalante project competition, winning multiple hackathons, becoming a member of Microsoft Student Partners and Microsoft IT trainer, and writing a research paper “Checklist for Web Application Penetration Testing”. I have extensive experience identifying system vulnerabilities, building information security solutions and incident management. I am fluent in Python, Automation and well versed in integrating SIEM, WAF, SOAR, SGRC, PAM and many other solutions. With all that said, my true passion is leading people towards achieving goals as quickly and efficiently as possible. And by utilizing my technical background, I'm able to translate business goals into technical requirements with ease. In October of 2023 I have moved to United Kingdom, where I am currently working as a Cybersecurity professional.
