About

I’m a results-driven cybersecurity professional with a unique blend of expertise in Information Security, Cryptography, and Artificial Intelligence. I hold a Master’s in Information and Computer Sciences (specializing in Information Security, Cryptography, and AI) and a BSc in Data Science & Artificial Intelligence.

I bring hands-on experience across Blue, Red, and Purple Team operations in a global SOC environment, with proven skills in threat detection, vulnerability management, incident response, and threat intelligence. I’m proficient in Python, Java, C#, and C/C++, and experienced with industry tools such as Splunk, Rapid7 InsightVM, Microsoft XDR, and more.

Beyond professional work, I sharpen my skills through global Capture The Flag (CTF) competitions, consistently ranking among top participants. I was a member of Bulgaria’s National Cybersecurity Preparation Team 2025. As a WiCyS & SANS Security Training Scholarship recipient, I hold GIAC GFACT, GSEC, and GCIH.

Driven by curiosity, precision, and problem-solving, I thrive on tackling complex challenges and turning them into secure, innovative solutions. I’m currently seeking opportunities as an AI Cybersecurity Analyst, ML Security Specialist, Cybersecurity Engineer, or Cybersecurity Consultant - roles where I can help build secure, resilient, and future-ready systems while continuing to grow alongside world‑class teams.
