About
/ 01I’m a security engineer with a strong focus on cybersecurity and a habit of continuously sharpening my skills in an ever-evolving threat landscape. Outside of work, I stay balanced through an active lifestyle, reading, and problem-solving activities that help maintain focus and discipline.
My interest in technology started early through hands-on engineering, including co-founding a high-school robotics club and working with embedded systems. That foundation naturally evolved into an interest in security, where I became drawn to understanding how systems fail and how they can be defended. I’ve since built practical experience through platforms like PortSwigger and Hack The Box, developing a strong grounding in web application security and penetration testing.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity from Purdue University and regularly engage with the security community through conferences and independent study. I approach security with a long-term mindset, prioritizing depth, continuous learning, and a practical understanding of real-world threats.
