Two years of hands‑on IT across government & NGO, backed by a Master of Networking (Cybersecurity). I troubleshoot fast, secure what matters, and I'm ready for my next role in Australia.
My Master of Networking was never just a qualification — it was a deliberate move toward security engineering. I've spent two-plus years running IT for organisations where there was no one else to call: government offices, NGOs, and busy end users who needed things fixed properly, not just patched.
Along the way I picked up hands‑on lab experience in vulnerability assessment, incident response, digital forensics, and AI‑assisted threat detection — on top of the day‑to‑day fundamentals: Active Directory, networking, cloud, and end‑user support. I'm a solid troubleshooter, a fast learner, and genuinely motivated to build a long‑term career in security — not just land a job.
Real IT work — from government infrastructure to NGO support to writing code.
Ran end‑to‑end IT for 50+ staff and 150+ devices entirely solo — servers, Active Directory, Group Policy, firewalls and VPN. Wrote IT policies that cut repeat issues and ran staff cybersecurity awareness training.
Kept day‑to‑day operations running by resolving network, hardware and software issues. Led the technical delivery of a virtual trade exhibition when the supervisor was unavailable, and reduced vulnerabilities through staff security guidance.
Built and secured backend systems and databases for client websites, working closely with front‑end developers to keep performance and user experience solid.
Worked in a fast‑paced kitchen alongside full‑time study — built discipline, reliability and teamwork under pressure while completing the Master's.
Six projects from the Master of Networking, covering the full lifecycle from architecture to attack response.
Backend developer & security engineer on a 5‑person team. Production‑ready e‑signature system with MFA, fraud detection and cloud document verification.
Deployed Splunk to baseline traffic and applied AI‑assisted anomaly detection. Performed forensics on compromised system images and reconstructed attacker timelines.
Used Wireshark to capture and analyse live traffic. Ran vulnerability assessments, found weak configurations and worked through full incident response scenarios.
Automated switch and router configuration with Ansible playbooks, cutting manual setup time. Provisioned and version‑controlled virtual infrastructure with Terraform.
Designed a multi‑site enterprise network from scratch: VLANs, RIPv2 routing, NAT, DHCP, and firewall/ACL rules to simulate a secure perimeter.
Built a Windows Server 2022 domain end to end — AD, DNS, DHCP, and Group Policy enforcing password and desktop security settings across accounts.
From packet‑level troubleshooting to cloud identity to writing the automation that removes human error.
Based in Geelong, VIC — open to opportunities across Australia. I reply fast.
