About Me

I’m a cybersecurity learner who enjoys CTFs, breaking systems, and building small offensive tools. I work mainly on Linux, automate tasks, and chase challenges that make me better every day.

Right now I’m focusing on reverse engineering and improving through the SOC Level 1 path. Cybersecurity became my place — where learning feels natural and fun, and where I push myself to grow.

Always learning. Always leveling up.
