01 // About Me

Who I Am

I am an IT student with a deep passion for web development and ethical hacking, dedicated to turning innovative ideas into practical and secure digital solutions. My journey in technology is fueled by curiosity, creativity, and a constant desire to learn and grow.

I thrive at the intersection of offense and defense in cybersecurity — understanding how attackers think to help build stronger, more resilient systems. My hands-on experience spans network monitoring, vulnerability assessment, penetration testing, and offensive security tooling.

My goal is to become a professional ethical hacker and security researcher who makes the digital world meaningfully safer — one vulnerability at a time.
