Education
I am currently studying to become an IT Security Developer through a two-year Higher Vocational Education (YH) program at EC Utbildning. The program focuses on modern cybersecurity practices and prepares students to work with protecting systems, networks, and data in today’s increasingly digital environments. It includes full-time studies and a long internship period (LIA) where students gain practical experience working with real organizations and security environments.
This is the program I am currently attending: IT-Security Developer – EC Utbildning
Technical Learning
Through my studies I am developing skills in Linux systems, networking, system administration and cybersecurity tools. The program also covers identifying vulnerabilities, implementing security measures, monitoring systems and protecting infrastructure from potential threats.
I work with technologies related to IT security operations including SIEM platforms, system monitoring, network configuration and tools commonly used in penetration testing and security analysis.
I am also building knowledge in Microsoft 365 administration, hosting environments, IT support and service desk practices as well as general IT infrastructure management.
Professional Approach
In addition to technical skills I value clear communication and teamwork. IT security often requires cooperation between different teams, and I aim to approach challenges in a calm, structured and responsible way.
My goal is to continue developing my skills and contribute to organizations that want to strengthen, monitor and maintain secure IT systems and infrastructure.
