As an aspiring Cybersecurity Specialist transitioning from 10+ years in education and process management, I have completed the Infinity Labs "Open Lab" Cyber Researcher Program, logging over 2,500 hours in penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, threat analysis, incident response, network security, and protocol design. I bring working knowledge of system programming in C and Python, reverse engineering, and web exploitation, and I'm a strong collaborator with a proven ability to communicate effectively across technical and non-technical teams.
