🔹 Transitioning into Cybersecurity | IT Background
🌍 Open to Remote Work & Global Relocation

With 10+ years in IT, I’ve supported major companies like the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston and Morgan Stanley, specializing in system administration, network troubleshooting, and IT support in high-pressure environments.

🔐 Cybersecurity Transition
Currently enrolled in the Cybersecurity Weiterbildung program at DCI Digital Career Institute, gaining hands-on experience in:
✔ Penetration Testing
✔ Network Security
✔ Incident Response
✔ Risk Analysis & Threat Management
✔ Security Awareness & Compliance

Beyond formal education, I’m actively developing my skills through TCM Security, TryHackMe, Cisco, and Alison Cybersecurity courses, focusing on ethical hacking, security protocols, and web security.

🌐 Why Cybersecurity?
Cybersecurity is more than a career shift—it’s a passion. I’m dedicated to protecting organizations from cyber threats and ensuring data integrity. My IT background provides a strong foundation for identifying vulnerabilities, securing systems, and preventing cyberattacks.

🔍 Seeking Opportunities
I’m looking for internships or entry-level cybersecurity roles, especially in network security, penetration testing, or security operations, where I can apply my skills and grow within the field.
