Additional Information

I've built a reputation of being a master diesel technician complemented by a degree in cybersecurity and information technology.

I feel that leveraging a robust foundation in heavy-duty diesel diagnostics and electronic systems along side advanced training in cybersecurity could be a unique skill facet in the near future. Unique capabilities that bridge the gap between physical vehicle architecture and digital security frameworks. I'm passionate about securing critical infrastructure, commercial telematics, and embedded vehicle networks (CAN bus) against emerging cyber threats.

The long term goal is to become a cybersecurity professional specializing in the security, diagnostics, and resilience of commercial vehicle networks and critical transportation infrastructure like Cyber-Physical Systems, embedded systems, CAN Bus security, fleet telematics and IoT.
