My interest in technology started early, when I was still in school. Playing computer games like GTA: Vice City sparked my curiosity about computers and how software and games worked behind the scenes. As part of my school curriculum, I started learning QBasic programming, where I wrote some of my first programs and discovered that I enjoyed understanding how technology works.

I continued that interest by studying Computer Science during higher secondary school and later completed a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Information Technology.

After graduation, I gained practical IT experience in network monitoring and troubleshoot support, working with network infrastructure, system monitoring, troubleshooting and customer technical support.

Over time, my interest shifted from keeping systems running to understanding how systems can be protected. I began building my cybersecurity knowledge through TryHackMe, security labs and CTFs covering security operations, network security, vulnerability assessment and incident support.

Alongside hands-on learning, I participate in cybersecurity conferences, seminars and technical workshops to learn from security professionals and explore areas such as malware analysis, cloud security and AI security.

I am now looking for an entry-level cybersecurity opportunity where I can apply what I have learned, contribute to a security team and continue learning from experienced professionals.
