About

I discovered my passion for coding when I received my first laptop. Ever since then, I've dedicated significant time into many paid courses on coding languages such as JavaScript, Python and Bash. I realized the magic I had in my fingers to create anything I desired (technologically possible). However a question dawned on me: how were hackers able to manipulate technology to bend it to their will and execute their nefarious plans? That question ignited a newfound passion in me, to explore the intricate world of ethical hacking and cybersecurity. As I embarked on this quest to make the Internet safer, I've engaged in bug bounties to help make web applications more secure. In my spare time, I develop tools with the skills learned from my courses to secure networks, utilizing the powerful tool of Generative AI. Participation in Capture the Flag (CTF) competitions has stretched my thinking and helped me stay current on any new cyberattack strategies. Moving forward, I seek to deepen my knowledge in this field by actively pursuing certifications such as CEH, CompTIA Security+, and OSCP. I wish to also develop more meaningful projects with the aim of helping people secure their networks and systems.
