Intro

Hi there! It's Munshi. Getting into cybersecurity-related jobs is something I always fancy, and as a result, I've been researching this field over the last 30+ months. As a fresher, managing jobs in fields like this is very rare, and you need to be good at understanding real-life working strategies. I became no exception, working as a software engineer for the last 25+ months. Besides my academic knowledge in courses, my software engineering role has benefited me by allowing me to work closely with software development strategies, from planning large-scale software solutions to delivery. I'm looking for opportunities in cybersecurity that could either be in research or industry. It might be worth mentioning that I'm open to joining graduate programs and working as a research assistant. Currently, I'm focusing to explore research field where my intention on data anonymization, privacy protection of real-time data generated from IoT, and wearable sensors. Besides, I am a Junior Software Engineer at Dynamic Solution innovators Limited.
