About Me
I am a Network and Network Security Engineer with hands-on experience in designing, implementing, and securing enterprise network infrastructures. My background includes VLAN segmentation, static routing, firewall deployment, high availability design, IPsec VPN implementation, and network traffic analysis using Wireshark.
I also practice offensive security in controlled lab environments using Metasploit and network attack simulations to better understand vulnerabilities, attacker behavior, and defensive controls. My goal is to build a strong professional career as a SOC Analyst or Network Security Engineer.
