I am a person that is highly motivated and eager to learn new things while maintaining a level of competence that will not hinder any team i am a part of. I am very enthusiastic and passionate about technology and all the ways it is shaping human society as a whole. As almost every aspect of human life migrates into the cyber space more so do the concepts of Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability of peoples data in the cyber space become increasingly important. Cyber security to me is a field that is absolutely essential for the functioning of current and future human society, and therefore i have great interest in starting furthering my professional career in this field.
