Elena Deen

Technical Consultant

Bridging the gap between complex business needs and secure technical implementation.

Open for opportunities

I am a technical professional with over six years of experience across the software development lifecycle, delivering solutions for large-scale public sector clients. I have hands-on experience in development, testing, and system analysis, with a strong focus on secure, scalable, and reliable solutions.

I am actively expanding my expertise in Cybersecurity and Cloud Architecture, applying a risk-aware, systems-thinking mindset to projects that involve identity management, access control, and compliance.

I am seeking opportunities where I can combine my technical skills and security knowledge to make an impact.
