About Me

Curiosity for Computers

Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been the type to take things apart just to see how they work, especially when it comes to computers. That curiosity led me to start studying Computer Science in high school, and I’ve been hooked ever since. Now, I’m continuing that journey at university.

A Fresh Ethical Hacker

Somewhere along the way, I stumbled into the world of cybersecurity and ethical hacking. There’s something awesome about figuring out how systems can be broken. It still blows my mind how much you can do with just a computer and some creativity.

Life Beyond Tech

Outside the digital world, I like to keep things balanced. I’m into video games, calisthenics, and hitting the gym. I love exploring new places whenever I get the chance, and lately, I’ve been thinking about picking up martial arts, always up for learning something new and keeping life interesting!
