About Me

I am an IT professional specializing in Linux administration, Cyber Security, and DevOps engineering. Experienced in managing and securing Linux servers, performing vulnerability assessments, and implementing system hardening aligned with ISO 27001 and CIS Top 20 Controls. Skilled in penetration testing with tools such as Nmap, Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP, and Metasploit. I also have hands-on expertise in cloud infrastructure (AWS), automation (Docker, Terraform), and CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions), with practical experience in monitoring solutions like Grafana, Prometheus, ELK, and Zabbix. Passionate about delivering secure, scalable, and reliable IT solutions, I focus on bridging development, security, and operations to drive innovation and resilience.
