I'm a cybersecurity graduate who's really into defensive security, digital forensics, and figuring out how new tech can help solve security problems.
I graduated from Edinburgh Napier University with a degree in Cyber Security & Digital Forensics. I've spent a lot of time learning about modern security challenges and how to actually solve them.
My dissertation on federated learning for intrusion detection got over 99% detection accuracy. I also worked as a Teaching Assistant helping students with Python and cybersecurity concepts.
Through projects in penetration testing, malware analysis, and cloud security, I've built up practical skills for real security challenges. I've done everything from AI-powered security solutions to full security assessments.
Before cybersecurity, I worked in customer service which really helped with communication and working under pressure - pretty important for incident response and team collaboration.
SOC operations, threat detection, incident response, and security monitoring expertise.
Evidence collection, analysis techniques, and investigation methodologies for cyber incidents.
Machine learning applications in cybersecurity, including federated learning and threat intelligence.
Comprehensive academic projects demonstrating advanced cybersecurity knowledge and practical implementation skills across diverse security domains.
Developed an innovative federated learning approach for privacy-preserving intrusion detection using the CICIDS2017 dataset. Achieved over 99% detection accuracy while maintaining data privacy across distributed networks.
Collaborated with WWT to evaluate security implications of Large Language Models in enterprise environments. Conducted comprehensive threat modeling and developed security recommendations.
Designed and implemented a scalable cloud-based malware analysis laboratory using containerization and automation. Enabled safe analysis of malicious samples with comprehensive logging and reporting.
Conducted comprehensive penetration testing of a purpose-built vulnerable web application. Identified critical vulnerabilities and provided detailed remediation recommendations following industry best practices.
