JUNIOR PENETRATION TESTER · ETHICAL HACKER · SECURITY RESEARCHER
I document my cybersecurity journey through hands-on labs, penetration testing projects, CTF write-ups and continuous learning. My goal is to help organizations build stronger security by understanding how attackers think.
I'm a Junior Penetration Tester focused on offensive security — building the practical muscle to find and fix vulnerabilities before real attackers do.
My focus areas are Web Application Security, Network Security, Linux, Active Directory and Privilege Escalation. I spend my nights on Capture The Flag challenges and my days reading source code, protocols and post-mortems.
I believe great security engineers are made by relentless practice — so I document every lab, every write-up and every tool I build, in public.
Tools, protocols and disciplines I use daily on labs and CTFs.
