Heading North

Resume

Profile
#

Systems and network technician with a web development background, now training in DevOps with a clear direction: DevSecOps.

I discovered cybersecurity during my web development training. It has since become both the common thread of my career change and a passion, which I practise regularly on training platforms such as TryHackMe and which led me to the eJPT. The TSSR qualification then gave me solid foundations in systems and networks; my DevOps Bachelor’s is teaching me to automate, industrialise, and build security in from the start.

From my professional background, I keep a habit that matters in this field: applying strict procedures, without exception, even when things go wrong. That’s exactly what a production release, incident handling or a security policy requires.

I’m now building Heading North Lab, a complete infrastructure on my own Proxmox server, documented in public step by step. Long-term goal: working in the Nordic countries.
