About

I'm an aspiring cybersecurity professional who trained the hard way — through real-world labs, simulations, and projects at the Cybertection Training Center. Instead of just watching videos, I built skills by doing: investigating simulated intrusions, hunting threats, and writing up findings like an analyst. What drives me: I don't just want to break or fix systems — I want to protect the people behind them. I'm looking for an entry-level role where I can keep learning, contribute from day one, and grow into a defender teams rely on. 📫 Let's connect.

✅ LinkedIn checklist

  • ☐Professional photo (clear face, simple background, slight smile)
    Profiles with photos get ~14x more views.
  • ☐Custom headline (not just your job title)
    It's the #1 thing recruiters see in search results.
  • ☐Banner image (a clean cyber/tech graphic)
    Free real estate that makes you look intentional.
  • ☐Fill the About section with your story + skills
    Recruiters read it to gauge fit and communication.
  • ☐Add your Training Center experience & projects
    Shows you actually do the work, not just study.
  • ☐List your certifications (Security+, etc.)
    Many recruiter filters search by certification.
  • ☐Turn on 'Open to Work' (recruiters-only if you prefer)
    Puts you in the recruiter candidate pool.
  • ☐Add your Skills and get a few endorsements
    LinkedIn matches jobs to your listed skills.
  • ☐Post or repost once a week (a lab, a write-up, a win)
    Activity keeps you visible in feeds and search.

🐙 GitHub checklist

  • ☐Add a profile README (github.com/you/you)
    Your GitHub 'home page' — first thing people see.
  • ☐Pin your 3–6 best repos
    Controls exactly what visitors judge you by.
  • ☐Write a real README for each project
    What it does, how to run it, what you learned.
  • ☐Use a clear bio + location + links
    Makes you searchable and contactable.
  • ☐Commit consistently (even small)
    A green contribution graph signals momentum.
  • ☐Add topics/tags to repos (security, python, soc)
    Helps people and recruiters find your work.
