Cybersecurity enthusiast and Computer Science undergrad with a knack for digital forensics and network security. I'm fascinated by the cat-and-mouse game between attackers and defenders, and I love diving into malware analysis and ethical hacking challenges. Currently looking to put my skills to the test in real-world cybersecurity environments where I can continue learning while making meaningful contributions.
