My academic background, current postgraduate study, and planned professional certifications supporting my development toward a career in cybersecurity.
Academic Background
My academic studies provide the technical and professional foundation supporting my transition into cybersecurity.
Undergraduate Degree
Built a foundation across programming, software development, databases, networking, computing systems, and broader computer science concepts.
Postgraduate Degree with Professional Practice
Developing knowledge of cybersecurity management, risk, governance, professional practice, security strategy, and practical technical development.
Professional Development
These certifications represent my planned learning pathway. Statuses will be updated as I begin and complete each qualification.
CompTIA

Development stage: Foundation certification
CompTIA
A networking certification covering infrastructure, protocols, troubleshooting, network operations, and security fundamentals.
Development stage: Networking foundation
INE Security
A practical entry-level penetration-testing certification focused on methodology, network assessment, web testing, and hands-on exploitation fundamentals.
Development stage: Practical offensive security
TCM Security
A practical penetration-testing certification emphasising real-world assessment methodology, reporting, and professional communication.
Development stage: Intermediate practical goal
OffSec
A long-term practical offensive-security objective involving penetration testing, exploitation, enumeration, and technical reporting.

Development Path
My certification roadmap is designed to build strong technical foundations first, then move progressively into practical offensive-security skills.
Strengthen networking, operating systems, security fundamentals, and practical lab skills.
Prepare for a recognised entry-level certification such as CompTIA Security+.
Progress into hands-on penetration-testing training and practical certifications.
Build deeper methodology, reporting, Active Directory, and exploitation skills.
Continuous Development
My certification roadmap supports a wider development plan that includes academic study, home-lab work, technical projects, and documented hands-on learning.
