About Me

Welcome to my corner of the web! I'm passionate about security and hacking, not to mention backend projects and always learning something new. I thrive on solving problems and bringing ideas to life through code.

With background in node and javascript frontends, I've been pivoting towards networking, sysadmin and security for around 2 years now.

Positions in which I see myself in 3 years, include Sysadmin positions with DevOps and test automation sprinkled in. Positions in which I can keep services running, create automation scripts and internal tooling for devs, Pen test the active systems, setup firewalls for allowed ports and protocols, run SIEM, setup RAID, or part take in sandbox projects related to security, defence and hacking.

My greatest strenght

Always learning something new, there is not a day where I dont keep learning something new outside of working hours. For almost 2 years that has been mostly about hack the box courses, but also portswigger labs, postgres, networking and routers ( Cisco and udemy ), and ofcourse as 100% linux user ( worth mentioning here ) there is plenty I have learned via NixOs and ubuntu during daily usage.
