01 — About

A learner with a hacker's mindset

I'm a cybersecurity student building practical, real-world skills through a continuous loop of learn → break → fix → document. My journey lives across TryHackMe rooms, Hack The Box machines, and a home cyber lab where I experiment with networking fundamentals, reconnaissance, enumeration, and pentesting basics.

I'm currently focused on the offensive side — web app pentesting, OWASP Top 10, Active Directory basics, and privilege escalation — while strengthening blue-team foundations like log analysis and identity protection.

I treat every CTF, lab, and writeup as a step toward becoming a well-rounded analyst. Curiosity is the exploit. Discipline is the payload.
