From a young age, I was the go-to person in my family for fixing anything related to technology. Whether it was setting up a new device, troubleshooting computer issues, or figuring out how to connect to the internet, I loved taking on the challenge and finding solutions on my own. These early experiences taught me how to think critically, experiment with different approaches, and develop a deep understanding of technology through hands-on learning.As I grew older and witnessed the rapid evolution of technology, I became fascinated by the unseen battles in the digital world. The increasing importance of protecting data and systems drew me toward cybersecurity, a field that combines my problem-solving skills with my passion for technology. The complexity and significance of cybersecurity fuelled my desire to learn more, and I began to specialize in this exciting and ever-evolving domain.I hold a master’s degree in Cybersecurity from Deakin University and a Bachelor of Engineering in Electronics & Communication from the University of Hertfordshire. My academic background and hands-on experience have equipped me with advanced knowledge of cybersecurity frameworks and IT support systems.I have over two years of experience in IT and cybersecurity, with roles including:• Junior Cybersecurity Analyst at Code Black Group: Manage incident reports and conduct threat analysis using Threat Defence tools.• IT Support Officer at CyberSwift: Provided IT support and implemented system improvements.• Junior Telecommunication Engineer at Sri Lanka Telecom: Gaining foundational technical experience in networking and communication systems.Some of my key achievements include,• Contributed to the development and implementation of a Cyber Security Incident Response Plan for CFMEU, resulting in a measurable 10% improvement in incident response efficiency within six months.• Developed an IT handbook for Midnight IT, contributing to improved operational consistency and better onboarding processes for new team members.• Assisted in identifying and addressing key vulnerabilities using Threat Defence and Sophos, reducing false-positive rates.• Utilized Splunk for log analysis to proactively identify vulnerabilities, achieving a 10% improvement in detection accuracy.Along with this, my industrial knowledge incorporates Cybersecurity | Managed Service Providers | Telecommunications | Network Security.I am eager to expand my network and explore opportunities in cybersecurity roles.
