I am a third-year Computer Engineering student driven by curiosity and precision. With a strong foundation in C/C++, front-end development, Unreal Engine, and Kali Linux, I thrive on turning complex problems into elegant solutions. Beyond academics, I actively participated in the Global Game Jam, developing and prototyping interactive games that demonstrate my creativity and technical skills. If faced with the unknown, I don’t pretend — I acknowledge it, adapt quickly, and engineer the path forward.
Conducted active and passive reconnaissance using tools such as Nmap, Whois, Netcraft, and Google dorks to identify IPs, subdomains, emails, and exposed documents. Set up and used Kali Linux in a VM for penetration testing exercises. Explored network security concepts including ports, TCP three-way handshake, sockets, and endpoint detection systems (XDR, MDR, EDR). Practiced vulnerability assessment, password hashing, SQL injection, file transfers, and EternalBlue exploit through HackTheBox and TryHackMe labs. Observed real-time malicious attack attempts with the Blue Team, gaining practical exposure to defensive security operations. Prepared penetration testing reports by documenting findings, proof-of-concepts, and remediation strategies. Attended professional development and company training sessions, improving both technical and workplace skills. Completed a final project: built a Whois-monitoring web application with features like change detection, alerts, authentication, and secure backend implementation (MongoDB, Express, Node.js).
