About Me

I'm Abdisamad Yusuf, an aspiring cybersecurity professional with a Computer Science degree and a strong interest in network security and cloud security. Over the past 3 years, I’ve gained hands-on experience in IT support, information security, and web design.

I hold certifications from Google, ISC2, AWS, and Microsoft, and I’m the founder of two startups: GuardAura, which offers cybersecurity services, and Sameelo, focused on web design and digital solutions.

I spend most of my time sharpening my skills on platforms like TryHackMe (Top 1% globally), LetsDefend, and CyberDefenders. My mission is simple: to help people and businesses stay safe in today’s connected world.

I'm always open to new roles in cybersecurity or cloud computing, meaningful collaborations, and opportunities where I can grow and make a real impact.
