Successfully assessed and fortified network security measures, identifying vulnerabilities and enhancing defenses against potential threats.
I am Damjan Dodevski, a passionate cybersecurity analyst and penetration tester currently studying at the Faculty of Computer Science and Engineering in Skopje. My journey in tech began with a fascination for how systems operate and the challenges of keeping them secure. I have developed a strong foundation in ethical hacking, web development, and database management through both academic studies and practical experience.
My expertise spans various domains including web application security, where I utilize tools like Burp Suite and OWASP ZAP to identify vulnerabilities. I have also performed internal penetration testing, focusing on Active Directory security assessments using advanced tools such as Crackmapexec and Bloodhound.
In addition to my technical skills, I am proficient in several programming languages including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Python, which I apply in projects ranging from web applications to automation scripts. I thrive in collaborative environments and enjoy participating in hackathons, where I’ve successfully led teams to innovate and solve real-world problems.
Outside of work, I have a diverse range of interests. I enjoy playing football, traveling to new places, and engaging in strategic games like chess. These activities not only help me unwind but also foster my analytical and strategic thinking skills. I believe that continuous learning is essential, and I regularly engage with online courses and community challenges to stay updated with the latest trends in cybersecurity.
