I am a Software Engineer and QA specialist currently advancing my expertise through a Master's in Cybersecurity at the University of Galway. My unique background lies at the intersection of development and quality assurance, giving me a comprehensive understanding of the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC). I am now focused on applying this insight to proactively identify and mitigate security vulnerabilities, ensuring systems are built securely from the ground up.

My core technical proficiencies are focused on secure implementation and testing:

Cloud Security: Hands-on experience deploying and validating applications in GCP and AWS environments, with a keen interest in cloud security posture and identity access management.

API & Microservices Security: Expertise in designing and executing rigorous test cases for complex API and microservices architectures, specifically targeting authentication flaws, data exposure, and injection vulnerabilities.

Security-Focused Mindset: Eager to apply academic knowledge in Threat Modeling, Network Security, and Digital Forensics to practical, real-world security challenges.

I am actively seeking Graduate Roles, Apprenticeships, or Internships in Cybersecurity beginning in 2024/2025, where I can leverage my unique perspective to help build more defensible and resilient systems.
