About

I'm a recent CSIT graduate with a solid foundation in networking, operating systems, and system security. I've been building hands-on experience in Linux and Windows environments through TryHackMe and Hack The Box labs, working through log analysis, threat detection, and incident response exercises.

I started out in web development with React.js, and I'm now focused on moving into Blue Team roles — the defensive side of security, where the work is about spotting what's wrong in a system before it becomes a problem. I'm actively looking for internships and entry-level opportunities where I can apply and grow these skills.
