Initializing secure connection…
Cybersecurity Analyst
I am an aspiring Cybersecurity Analyst and Penetration Tester with a solid foundation in Web Application Security and Network Defense. Transitioning from an SEO background, I bring a unique blend of analytical thinking and technical curiosity to identifying and mitigating security vulnerabilities.

About
My path into cybersecurity started with search — understanding how systems rank, respond, and fail. That same curiosity now drives how I probe web applications, examine network traffic, and think like an adversary. I focus on web application security, network defense, and hands-on penetration testing, constantly learning through labs, CTFs, and real-world reports.
