Elevator Pitch

Hi! I'm Sharon, an entry-level cybersecurity professional passionate about offensive security, hands-on learning, and community-driven knowledge sharing.

Over the past year, I’ve transitioned from software into cybersecurity, where I've gained practical experience through platforms like TryHackMe, Cisco Networking Academy, Google Cybersecurity Certificate, and CTFs. I focus on:

• Penetration testing techniques (Nmap, Burp Suite, Gobuster, SQLMap)

• Web exploitation (XSS, SQLi, LFI, authentication flaws)

• Privilege escalation, Active Directory, and OSINT

• Writing technical walkthroughs to explain vulnerabilities in beginner-friendly ways

I’m actively building my portfolio through labs, write-ups, and blog articles. I’m especially interested in:

• Entry-level security roles (junior pentester, analyst, infosec writer)

• CTF teams, open-source security projects, and hands-on collabs

• Mentorship or contributor roles that allow me to grow by doing

I’ve worked asynchronously with diverse teams across time zones, and I’m committed to continuous learning in the infosec space. If you're looking for someone eager to learn and contribute to cybersecurity, I’d love to connect.

You can find me on LinkedIn, or leave a comment on one of the articles to talk about opportunities or collaboration.
