About

I am a Computer Engineering student focused on offensive security, Linux and low-level programming. I enjoy understanding how systems work under the hood, building security tools and investigating how software and networks behave.

I'm particularly interested in web and network penetration testing, security tooling and systems programming. I spend my time working on personal projects, practicing in cybersecurity labs and documenting what I learn through technical writeups.
