About Me

I am a Computer Science graduate with a minor and certification in Cybersecurity, with hands-on experience in system and network security. During my time in school, I worked on practical labs involving buffer overflows, reverse shells, and traffic analysis using tools such as Kali Linux and Wireshark. I enjoy learning how vulnerabilities work and using that knowledge to help build more secure systems and keep people informed about modern cyber threats.
