As a Computer Science student, I'm fascinated by the constant duel between system exploitation and protection. This curiosity drives my hands-on work, from building defensive SIEM labs to analyzing attacker tools and deconstructing threats in CTFs. I leverage my understanding of how systems are built to better understand how they break. I am actively seeking roles in SOC analysis or penetration testing where I can apply my analytical skills to real-world security challenges.

• 🔭 I’m currently analyzing new malware samples and documenting my findings on my Medium blog.
• 🎯 Currently pursuing CPTS (Hack The Box) and SC-500: Cloud and AI Security Engineer Associate (Microsoft).
• 🌱 I’m always active on platforms like TryHackMe and LetsDefend to sharpen my offensive and defensive skills.
• 💬 Ask me about Malware Analysis, Reverse Engineering (Ghidra), SIEM architecture, or CTFs!
• 📫 The best way to reach me is through LinkedIn.

I actively hunt for and responsibly report security vulnerabilities. My findings have been acknowledged by:

• 🏈 NFL — Security Hall of Fame
• 💡 Philips — Security Hall of Fame
• 🖥️ IBM — Security Hall of Fame
• 🌐 United Nations — vulnerability triaged (Hall of Fame listing pending)
