QA Engineer transitioning into Cybersecurity — Perth, Australia
Background
My background is in QA, Finance, and Logistics — not a traditional path into cybersecurity, but it gave me habits that carry over: testing assumptions, documenting clearly, and paying attention to detail.
I finished my QA Engineering bootcamp at TripleTen and I'm now deepening my technical foundation through hands-on labs, a home lab setup, and self-directed study.
I learn by doing. Right now that means running a home lab with a Kali Linux VM, working through platforms like KC7 and picoCTF, and keeping a public learning log of everything I pick up along the way.
In Semester 2, 2026, I'll begin a Master of Cyber Security at Edith Cowan University (ECU) in Perth — with a scholarship and a mandatory industry placement in the final semester.
Tooling
Work
Python-based automated API testing project. Covers authentication handling, structured test scripts, and validation of positive and negative API scenarios.
End-to-end automated testing of a taxi booking web app. Implemented Page Object Model (POM) and validated complete booking flows and UI behaviour.
Manual API and backend testing for an online grocery service. Validated functionality against documented requirements using structured test cases and bug reports.
Mobile testing for a food ordering app on Android Studio. Validated ordering flows, geolocation permissions, and error message handling.
Documentation
My public learning log is where I document everything I study — from QA fundamentals to cybersecurity labs, networking concepts, and hands-on tool usage.
It's a live record of how I learn, not just what I've learned. Every lab, every platform, every concept gets written up.
