Committed to continuous learning and applying my cybersecurity knowledge, I actively 
volunteer my skills to (3) local businesses. This includes conducting network security scans
and vulnerability assessments. This allows skills learned in the Cybersecurity Engineering 
course to be out into practice. By identifying and reporting potential security weaknesses in 
real-world environments, I've gained valuable experience in vulnerability management and its 
critical role in organizational cybersecurity posture. 
Threat Intelligence Reporting concerning attempted phishing attempts. Exposing the bad actor 
and proving the company my detailed reports. More then 10 reports have been made by me.
I've established a comprehensive home lab environment to foster a proactive learning 
approach. Utilizing 15+ virtual machines in different configurations, I can replicate real-world 
systems and practice hardening techniques for endpoint systems, servers, and networks. This 
self-directed approach not only reinforces my understanding of cybersecurity principles but 
also demonstrates my dedication to continuous learning and experimentation.
