Profile
Hey there! I'm a Computer Engineer and Cybersecurity Specialist who can't resist the allure of shiny new tech. With hands-on experience in cybersecurity, I'm ready to take on whatever cyber puzzles come my way.
I'm known for giving my best in everything I do—mostly because I don't like falling behind. When I'm not solving cyber puzzles, you'll probably find me staying active, gaming occasionally, experimenting with design and creative projects—or simply keeping busy—because sitting idle just isn't my thing. I'm always up for experimenting with new tools and technologies—so much so that I've unofficially become tech support among my friends.
Integrity, continuous growth, and creativity keep me grounded—and, let's be honest, they make me pretty fun to work with too.
