👋 Hi, I’m Dinora. I got my first network engineer job at 17 through self-education and later moved into cybersecurity without a specialized security degree or certifications at the time. I know what it feels like to learn independently and wonder whether you’re ready to apply. Today, I'm a cybersecurity engineer at Zendesk. My experience spans networking, security risk, cloud and defensive security. I'm also a founder of Women in Cybersecurity Uzbekistan, which expanded into Zero Day Society: a community connecting 300+ specialists in cybersecurity through career advice, events, mentorship, and referrals. Supporting women entering and growing in cybersecurity remains especially important to me. 📌 What we can work on: - Moving from your current role into cybersecurity. - Choosing between security analyst, operations, and engineering roles. - Reviewing your CV and LinkedIn so your experience comes across clearly. - Practicing interview answers and explaining your projects. - Identifying skill gaps and choosing practical projects to address them. - Discussing SOC, defensive security, and blue teaming from real-life scenarios. You don’t need to arrive with a perfect career plan. Tell me what you’ve tried, where you’re stuck, and what you’re aiming for. We’ll work through it together with supportive feedback, specific priorities, and next steps you can act on. Talk to you soon!
