Junior Cybersecurity Analyst | Academic Institute of Excellence
I am a passionate IT student at the Academic Institute of Excellence, specializing in cybersecurity. I focus on hands-on learning through virtualized labs, security assessments, and defensive security practices.
My goal is to build a career in cybersecurity, with a strong interest in system hardening, secure access management, and cloud security.
Completed multiple practical cybersecurity assessments simulating real-world environments. Tasks included vulnerability scanning, risk analysis, system hardening, and penetration testing validation.
Over three years of hands-on experience working with virtual machines and isolated lab environments. Gained practical exposure to penetration testing fundamentals, digital forensics concepts, network scanning, vulnerability assessment, and secure server administration.
Built and secured home lab servers, implemented SSH key-based authentication, deployed containerized services using Docker, and configured Linux systems on AWS EC2 instances for security testing and access control experiments.
Conducted a full cybersecurity assessment of a simulated organizational network environment. Identified exposed services and vulnerabilities, evaluated risk, applied security controls, and verified improvements through post-hardening testing.
