About Me
Cybersecurity Student
Focused on practical cybersecurity skills, including vulnerability assessment, network defense, and secure system configuration. Hands-on experience gained through labs, projects, and real-world security tooling.
Security Tooling & Automation
Experience building Python-based security tools for reconnaissance, monitoring, and vulnerability detection. Comfortable using scripting to automate security checks, analyze results, and improve defensive workflows.
Networking & Infrastructure Fundamentals
Strong foundation in computer networking, Linux systems, and traffic analysis, with emphasis on securing data in transit, identifying misconfigurations, and understanding attacker movement across networks.
I am a computer science student with a focused interest in cybersecurity and network security. My technical background began with programming and system fundamentals and has evolved into hands-on work in security tooling, vulnerability assessment, and defensive practices. I am particularly interested in understanding how systems fail, how attackers exploit weaknesses, and how those weaknesses can be mitigated through proper design and monitoring.
I'm currently transitioning into blue-team and cloud security, with practical learning through platforms such as Hack The Box and TryHackMe
