Learning New Technologies


I am highly adaptable and committed to continuous learning, especially in emerging technologies. I have independently explored and mastered various tools and frameworks through self-learning, formal education, and hands-on experience. I recently completed a Cybersecurity Bootcamp, gaining practical skills in threat intelligence, risk management, and vulnerability assessment. Additionally, I have earned certifications in Prompt Engineering, AI Agents, and OpenAI GPTs, enhancing my knowledge in AI-driven solutions. My ability to quickly grasp and apply new technologies allows me to stay ahead in the fast-evolving tech landscape, making me an asset in any dynamic work environment.

Would you like me to refine this further based on your specific interests at the World Bank, such as cybersecurity, AI, data analytics, or financial technology?
