As a Project Engineer at Optimum Controls Corporation, I work with a team of experts to design, test, and implement control systems supporting industrial automation for various clients and sectors. I apply skills previously acquired from my work in network security, database development, programming, and technical support correspondingly with the skills I obtained as an engineer to deliver high-quality solutions that meet the client's needs and specifications.I graduated from Penn State University in May of 2022 with a Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity Analytics and Operations and obtained the National Security Agency Certificate in Cybersecurity Excellence. I gained considerable amounts of hands-on experience in network defense, penetration testing, digital forensics, and application development from Penn State's thorough Cybersecurity curriculum. Frequently battling through complex problems in different comprehensive system environments strengthened my expertise with tools and software such as WireShark, Splunk, Autopsy, Snort, SIEM, MS Studio, MS Office, NetBeans, bash shell, shell scripting, the offensive tools used in Kali Linux, among others. I have extensive experience programming in Java and the concepts surrounding object-oriented programming. I am also proficient with Python and SQL. I am passionate about learning new technologies and enhancing my cybersecurity skills.
