~/whoami

My journey began at 14, when I connected my Windows 2000 PC to the world via DSL. much to the dismay of my grandmother, who was mostly worried about the phone bill! That unauthorized exploration sparked a fascination with how systems work (how to break them and how to secure them), which naturally led me to cybersecurity. This field combines exactly what I seek: technical challenge and endless discovery.
