Hello ๐Ÿ‘‹ I'm RAUL

As a former IT Engineer with a genuine passion for technology, problem-solving abilities and many years of experience repairing, assembling, and maintaining computers, laptops, and servers, I have gained valuable technical skills and problem-solving abilities that I backed by a recent CompTIA+ qualification, which has further enhanced my knowledge and expertise in the field. Currently in my second year of studying for a BEng(Hons) HND Cyber Security and Forensics degree (SCQF Level 8), I am highly motivated by my profound passion for computing. My ultimate goal is to contribute my skills and mindset to a dynamic IT team, where I can continue to learn and grow while making a meaningful impact. From an early age, I have been captivated by the world of computers and networks as the sheer complexity and endless possibilities of these systems have always fascinated me.

Objective

In addition to my college education, I have hands-on experience setting up, managing, and troubleshooting Small-Medium Business networks and also established a home lab where I am able to apply the theoretical knowledge I have gained through coursework and self-study by experimenting and testing various technologies and configurations in a controlled environment.

My enthusiasm for cybersecurity is driven by a profound comprehension of the topic and an unwavering aspiration to create a beneficial influence in this domain. I possess a firm grounding in the fundamental principles of computer science, encompassing programming, networking, and operating systems. Additionally, I am acquainted with diverse cybersecurity tools and methodologies, such as penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, and incident response. Apart from my academic pursuits, I derive great pleasure from delving into new subjects and engaging in self-directed learning activities. I am an enthusiastic learner who constantly seeks to broaden my knowledge and abilities beyond the confines of the classroom. As an illustration, I have established a personal laboratory at home where I can experiment with virtualization and containerization, IPS and IDS, as well as Linux. Lately, I have been engrossed in developing my own blog, which primarily focuses on providing tutorials on self-hosting and sharing cybersecurity news. I have been able to improve my skills and knowledge in these areas through this achievement, and I have also had the opportunity to share my insights with others. I am excited to keep following my passions and exploring new opportunities as I start my career in cybersecurity.
