About Me

A hands-on cybersecurity professional focused on building, breaking, and understanding security systems.

I focus on practical cybersecurity through hands-on labs, security monitoring, detection engineering, and offensive security projects.

My work spans Linux and Windows environments, SIEM and SOAR workflows, vulnerability exploitation, privilege escalation, and security automation.

I use this portfolio to document technical projects, security research, and the lessons learned while building and testing real-world security workflows.
