ASPIRING PROFESSIONAL CYBER SECURITY RESEARCHER

NETWORKING
I’ve had over four years of experience in the networking field. During this time, I’ve been configuring switches and regularly rectifying network related issues. As a result, I’ve become quite skilled and knowledgeable in the networking field. During this time, I’ve obtained my Comptia Network+ and CIsco’s CCNA certifications. Since then, I’ve switched my focus to learning about systems and cyber security. However, networking will always hold a special place in my heart.

CYBER SECURITY
Recently, I’ve taken a keen interest in cyber security. As my knowledge increases, so too does my enthusiasm. In fact, I’ve enrolled in several courses. For example, these courses include Threat Detection and Response, Practical Ethical Hacking and Practical Bug Bounty to name a few. I’m actively honing my skills through real world application as a bug bounty hunter. Also, I do practice labs and CTFs (Capture the Flags). Along this journey, I’ve realized that there’s a lot that I don’t know. Also, that there’s a lot I have to learn and improve on.

SCRIPTING & AUTOMATION
I’ve always been aware of the importance of learning to code. Whether for scripting or building full programs. It has become evident to me that I need to go beyond the basics. Since then I’ve taken a deep dive into scripting and automating tasks. This will play a great role in my success as a bug bounty hunter. I’m happy to apply my knowledge to other areas of work. In doing so, I’ll automate repetitive tasks, becoming more efficient in my day to day activities. Thus, having additional free time to put in more work.
