Bio:
After spending a decade in watch and jewelry repair and possessing no prior IT experience, I decided to pivot towards a career in cybersecurity. Rather than opting for the conventional certification route and starting from scratch, I chose to capitalize on my existing skills and gradually build technical knowledge around them. Employing my critical thinking and problem-solving abilities, I quickly attained the top-ranking position on KC7Cyber, secured a spot in the top 1% on TryHackMe, and achieved similar success on the Antisyphon Training Cyber Range. My journey into cybersecurity illustrates that entering this field doesn't need to be costly or overwhelming; it can be both affordable and fun.
