Ambitious cybersecurity professional with practical knowledge across multiple areas of cybersecurity, including ethical hacking, infrastructure protection, and protected software engineering. Throughout my educational path, I’ve utilized state-of-the-art methods and tools, such as Kali Linux, Metasploit, Hydra, and STIX/TAXII, in practical scenarios and technical exercises. My projects include investigating cyber threats using Soltra Edge to conduct active ethical hacking tasks, all aimed at expanding my knowledge of cyber threats and neutralizing those risks. I also have a strong background in network administration, digital forensics, and complex OOP.
In addition to my security-based work, I’ve gained hands-on abilities in encryption evaluation, privilege management, network security, and information organization, enhanced through my studies in cyber defense, IT security systems, and the moral dimensions of IT protection. I’m eager to solve advanced cybersecurity problems, leveraging my expertise and strong grasp of human-centric and technological facets of cyber defense, to safeguard organizational assets.
My objective is to join an innovative security organization where I can keep growing and apply my skills to uncover weaknesses, fortify defenses, and guard against dynamic cyber risks.
University of South Florida Jan 2020 - May 2025 Currently working on a Bachelor's degree in Cybersecurity, my course work focuses on a range of topics including network security, risk management, and the human factors of cybersecurity, all preparing me to address real work and ever emerging security challenges.
CIS3213 - Foundations of Cybersecurity Mapping the Kill Chain: Analyzing Malicious Activity Using Soltra Edge and STIX Examined cyber incidents by tracing Trudy’s attack through multiple kill chain phases, using Soltra Edge and the STIX/TAXII framework. Showcased skill in using cybersecurity frameworks to record and analyze cyber threats, which aided in identifying and responding to hostile actions.
CIS4200 - Penetration Testing for IT Penetration Testing Engagement - "Can You Hack It" Performed a full penetration test using Kali Linux and Metasploit on a virtual target environment. This included vulnerability assessment, exploitation, and post-exploitation tasks, such as privilege escalation and collecting authentication details. Built expertise in Metasploit modules, nmap scanning, and OpenVAS vulnerability assessment.
CNT4403 - Network Security & Firewalls Brute Force, Command Injection, and CSRF Attacks Carried out multiple web application attacks, including password brute-forcing using Hydra, leveraging command injection vulnerabilities, and executing CSRF attacks on web-based systems. Developed knowledge of attacker viewpoints, offensive techniques, and protective strategies.
Cybersecurity Tools & Frameworks Kali Linux, Metasploit, OpenVAS, Hydra, NetCat, Burp Suite STIX/TAXII (Soltra Edge), IDS/IPS (e.g., intrusion detection/prevention systems)
Network Security & Traffic Analysis Network protocol analysis using Wireshark, traceroute, and packet capturing VLAN, RIP Routing, and Ethernet performance testing TCP/UDP throughput analysis using iperf3
Cryptographic Hash Cracking & Authentication Bypass MD5 hash cracking (SQLmap) Session ID entropy analysis and security assessment
Programming & Automation Python scripting for automation and security tools (e.g., ffuf) C++ for application development, and OOP concepts.
