What to know about Saeed?
I'm a cyber security student at the University of South Wales, on course to graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Applied Cyber Security (Honours) in June 2025.
While my studies provide a strong foundation in cyber security principles, network security, incident response, and more, I've also gained valuable hands-on experience through work and volunteering. At B&Q, where I've been a customer advisor since July 2021, I've honed my customer service skills and problem-solving abilities by resolving technical issues with the tills while assisting customers. I've also developed my cash handling skills and managed a self-service till independently.
Since January 2023, I've volunteered as an IT Support Specialist at 35mm Creativy Agency. There, I played a key role in ensuring the smooth operation of devices by deploying them and installing drivers. I also maintained a detailed asset list of the agency's hardware, software, and services. My passion for cyber security was put to good use as I proactively secured their digital environment by crafting policies and mitigating potential security risks.
Through these experiences, I've developed a strong technical skillset that includes proficiency in Google products, software testing, troubleshooting, network design and administration, and security principles. But my skillset extends beyond the technical. I have excellent communication and customer service skills, and I'm comfortable working both independently and as part of a team. My problem-solving abilities and keen eye for detail are also assets that I bring to the table. As a Digital Champion, I possess a strong understanding of digital technologies, troubleshooting skills, and excellent communication skills, allowing me to effectively assist others.
