About

Driven by a strong interest in technology from an early age, I have built a solid foundation in IT and Cyber Security, combining both defensive (Blue Team) and offensive (Red Team) practices. I focus on understanding networking, attack techniques, detecting threats, and strengthening system security through hands-on lab environments and practical scenarios.
