CYBERSECURITY
STUDENT & HACKER

"I want to be financially free so I can build whatever I think of. Even if I know it won't work, I'll build it anyway because I want to. And if it fails miserably, it shouldn't stop me from building the next thing."

Who I Am

I am a Computer Science student with a strong interest in cybersecurity, ethical hacking, and red teaming. I enjoy learning how systems are attacked and how they can be secured. I regularly practice web application security, penetration testing, and Linux systems, and I build small security tools and projects to improve my practical knowledge.

My main focus areas are web security, vulnerability assessment, and security tool development. I'm actively learning through platforms like TryHackMe and PortSwigger Web Security Academy, and building projects to gain hands-on experience.
