My Story

My career in technology began in 2015, rooted in UX/UI Design and Project Management. This phase of my journey laid the foundational skills of meticulous attention to detail, user-centric thinking, and effective team coordination. However, my path took a significant turn as I delved into the rapidly evolving world of cybersecurity and data privacy technology. Over the past three years, this field has not only captivated my interest but has also become the cornerstone of my professional growth.

In the realm of cybersecurity, I transitioned to managing security audits for blockchain technology, a role that demanded an intricate understanding of digital security nuances. My responsibility involved leading teams of security researchers to conduct comprehensive audits for top-tier companies in the space. This role was more than a job; it was a crucible that refined my skills in risk analysis, team leadership, and project management. Simultaneously, I spearheaded privacy-focused projects, applying the Agile framework to navigate through complex milestones. This period was marked by intense learning, application, and a deepening passion for the field of cybersecurity..

The culmination of these experiences sparked a new ambition in me. I decided to further hone my skills and knowledge by pursuing a specialized study in cybersecurity at UC Berkeley's Bootcamp. This decision was driven by a desire to transition into more technical roles - as a Security Analyst and eventually, a Security Engineer. My journey, shaped by diverse experiences, has built a robust foundation of practical knowledge and strategic thinking. As I continue to evolve in this field, I am committed to leveraging my unique background to innovate, secure, and empower the digital world.
