About

I'm a security researcher and developer passionate about breaking things to understand how they work — then building them back better.

My work spans penetration testing, CTF competitions, and full-stack development. I enjoy operating at the intersection of offense and engineering.

Currently pursuing OSCP and contributing to open-source security tooling. Always looking for interesting problems to solve.
