I'm a Melbourne based IT professional interested in developing myself towards design and system architecture. I'm interested in how design plays a role in the overall user experience and am open to collaborating on projects in the areas of UI/UX/product design, as well as frontend development.

I hold formal qualifications in cybersecurity, have experience in networking and am pursuing further skill development in design (from the fundamentals) and fullstack development.

• ▸ Master of Cybersecurity (2024)
• ▸ Certified Information Security Specialist Professional (CISSP-provisional) (2025)
• ▸ Have completed the coursework for Network+, Security+, A+, JNCIA and CCNA

In my free time I've played counterstrike professionally, reached 7.2k in DoTA2, worked in a photo studio, been an avid a boulderer and etc. My interests are very wide and naturally this has caused me to gravitate towards design.

I'm open to contributing to projects or discussing design, development and architecture. Feel free to reach out to me at srwfsec@proton.me
