About Me

I’m currently studying a Bachelor of Cyber Security at Deakin University. I enjoy learning how systems, networks and applications work, how they can be tested, and how they can be made more secure.

My main interests are cybersecurity analysis, penetration testing, network security, secure coding and digital forensics. I’m continuing to build practical experience through university work, cybersecurity labs, CTF challenges and personal projects.

My goal is to start my career in cybersecurity and continue developing both offensive and defensive security skills through hands-on work.
