I am Md Faisal Khalique, a cybersecurity student based in Adelaide. I have completed the Certificate IV in Cyber Security at TAFE SA and am continuing my studies through the Diploma of Cyber Security while seeking an entry-level cybersecurity, IT infrastructure, or technical support role.
I am transitioning into cybersecurity and IT infrastructure after more than ten years of experience in operations, data analysis, quality assurance, project support, reporting, and stakeholder engagement. I am strengthening my technical capability through formal study, enterprise-style projects, and a self-built home lab.
My goal is to begin in a role where I can contribute to security monitoring, identity and access management, Windows infrastructure, network security, or technical support while continuing to build practical experience.
I value structured troubleshooting, accurate documentation, careful analysis, clear communication, and continuous learning.
Practical skills developed through TAFE SA coursework, team projects, independent labs, and technical documentation.
Formal training supported by hands-on lab work and enterprise-style cybersecurity projects.
