I know that I
know nothing.
I am a passionate cybersecurity student specializing in Application Security and Penetration Testing. With a proactive mindset, I thrive in collaborative environments and embrace continuous, lifelong learning.
My focus lies in breaking and securing systems, building robust automation tools in Python, and experimenting with how artificial intelligence can drastically enhance vulnerability discovery and exploitation workflows.
> Actively targeting: AppSec, Pentesting, Red Team, and AI-Security oriented roles.
