About
Security enthusiast with hands-on penetration testing experience. Currently on a roadmap to land my first cybersecurity role.
My approach combines practical offensive security skills (Top 6% TryHackMe, 45+ HackTheBox machines) with real-world business experience from running an international e-commerce operation.
I bring a unique perspective: understanding both how to break systems and how businesses actually work. Currently building portfolio, pursuing certifications, and actively seeking junior security roles.
