I'm a Cybersecurity graduate from Multimedia University with a background in computer science, programming, networking and IT infrastructure. My academic and project work spans security operations, network defense, digital forensics concepts and applied machine learning for threat detection.
I'm particularly interested in Security Operations, SIEM, threat detection, incident response, network security, penetration testing, red teaming, digital forensics, cloud security, security automation, AI/ML for cybersecurity and IoT security — and I'm building toward a SOC → Security Engineering → Penetration Testing / Red Team career path.
I've also worked with Python, Java, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, MySQL, Git/GitHub and Linux through coursework and personal projects, alongside exposure to machine learning frameworks (Scikit-learn, PyTorch, TensorFlow) and packet analysis with Scapy.
