Summary

As a Software Engineer with strong written and oral communication skills, I am eager to leverage my technical background and passion for cybersecurity to transition into a Junior Security Engineer role. With 3 years of experience in developing and maintaining web applications, I have a solid understanding of programming languages such as Python, Java, and JavaScript, as well as experience with web development frameworks and database management systems. Additionally, I have strong written and oral communication skills, which are essential for effective collaboration with cross-functional teams and stakeholders. As a cybersecurity enthusiast, I have completed several online courses. I am excited to expand my knowledge of security frameworks and tools, such as OWASP ZAP and Burp Suite, and use my software engineering skills to contribute to the security of systems and applications as a Junior Security Engineer.
