Summary

I'm a detail-oriented cybersecurity professional with about 1 year of experience in vulnerability assessment, digital forensics, and network security. Skilled in identifying and mitigating security risks through hands-on use of tools like ClamAV, Wireshark, and Zeek. I have knowledge in malware analysis, threat detection, and security automation using Bash and Python scripting. Experienced in conducting forensic investigations, performing penetration tests, and remediating vulnerabilities in diverse environments. I recently just finished my Cybersecurity program at UNLV, so I'm still fairly new but, I learn extremely quick & I am always willing to expand my knowledge & skills. I have multiple certifications from UNLV such as " Networking Fundamentals " , " Social Engineering & Ethical Hacking " & I also have a certified " IR Expert " certification from hackeru.com. Now, I am currently working on getting my CompTIA A+ certification to further expand my knowledge in system administration and network defense.
