About

I'm a security and networking professional deliberately expanding into DevOps and cloud. I currently work as a Cybersecurity Trainer & Program Coordinator at Cyberproof Canada, where I design and deliver hands-on community security workshops. My foundation is an Electrical & Electronic Engineering degree and a Cybersecurity post-grad certificate, and I'm actively pursuing Cisco's CCNP Enterprise track while building real deployment skills in public. I don't just run commands — my background means I understand why a security group is a firewall and why a tunnel traverses NAT.
