Academic background kept separate from professional experience.
Master of Science in Cybersecurity (MSCS)
Current graduate studies focused on cybersecurity and information security.
Bachelor of Science in Computer Science
Thesis: “Cognitive Manipulation: AI-Powered Brainwave Attacks, Defences, and External Neural Exploits in Bio-Cybersecurity.”
Diploma of Higher Education
Technical work that deserves more than a single line on a résumé.
Created and led a team of around ten students. Built and programmed the rover, developed the phone application and coordinated the project. The rover included movement, sensors, camera, robotic arm, remote control and autonomous functionality. The team won the competition and completed a full working rover.
Multi-workstream security assessments across web applications, APIs, external and internal networks, Active Directory and infrastructure. Client-specific details remain confidential.
The technical scope of the work, shown as capability areas instead of a long tool list.
Security work and training across different environments, each with different systems, risks and operational priorities.
A public research concept first, followed later by a deeper experimental bachelor thesis.
A three-minute research concept presented publicly at Falling Walls Lab Georgia. The presentation placed 2nd.
Cognitive Manipulation: AI-Powered Brainwave Attacks/Defenses and External Neural Exploits in Bio-Cybersecurity. Experimental pre-deployment security assessment of EEG-based authentication under realistic, non-ideal conditions.
The teaching section focuses on impact, subjects, curriculum and methodology. Individual organizations are listed above in Work Experience.
A six-month practical program covering foundations, web pentesting, network pentesting, Active Directory, social engineering, reporting and capstone work.
Cybersecurity fundamentals, ethical hacking, web security, networking, vulnerability assessment, Active Directory, social engineering and reporting.
Labs, demonstrations, scenarios, hackathons, guided exercises and practical assessment instead of theory-only instruction.
University teaching, professional training, camps, workshops, curriculum development and student mentoring.
Recognition is important, but it should support the story instead of becoming the design.
Certified Ethical Hacker by EC-Council and authorization to perform penetration testing by the Digital Governance Agency of Georgia.
Founder work gets its own space instead of being mixed into employment.
CSPA works across penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, web application security, network security, social engineering assessment, corporate awareness training, ethical hacking education, workshops and cyber camps.
The goal is simple: contribute to stronger cybersecurity in Georgia through practical services, education and awareness.
Public cybersecurity content focused on demonstrations, privacy, social engineering, scams and practical security awareness.
Cybersecurity articles, practical writeups, research explainers and career notes published under my own domain.
Methodology, attack paths, web/API security, reporting and lessons from real assessment work.
Readable breakdowns of bio-cybersecurity, EEG authentication, AI security and emerging attack surfaces.
Notes about cybersecurity careers, teaching, labs, competitions, projects and building technical skills.
