About

I am a computer science professional with experience in cybersecurity analysis and data-driven advisory roles, currently engaged in internships and peer advising since 2024. My background spans academic and practical applications in cybersecurity, data analysis, and software development, with a focus on security risk assessments and data visualization. My work involves using tools like nmap and sslscan for vulnerability scanning, R for statistical analysis and data visualization, and Supabase for backend database design. I have built machine learning models, developed secure web applications with SQL databases, and conducted comprehensive security and data analyses to support decision-making and improve system security.

What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an entry-level software engineering opportunity where I can apply my skills in software development, backend engineering, and problem-solving while continuing to grow as a developer. I’m especially interested in collaborative teams where I can work on meaningful projects, learn from experienced engineers, and contribute to building reliable and scalable software.
