I'm a Computer Science student specializing in Cybersecurity, with hands-on experience spanning both offensive and defensive security. I recently completed a Cybersecurity Trainee internship focused on vulnerability assessment and penetration testing under supervised rules of engagement, and I currently contribute to Project Rufia, a security monitoring platform built on ELK and Wazuh, working across PT validation, GRC, and PDPA compliance.
Outside of client work, I compete regularly in CTF competitions — solving challenges spanning binary exploitation, cryptography, forensics, and web security and I've built my own AI-assisted pentesting toolchain combining local and cloud-based LLMs for reconnaissance and reporting. I also run a self-hosted home server and maintain a detailed knowledge base of everything I learn along the way.
What drives me is the puzzle-solving instinct at the core of security work the same pull that draws me to CTFs draws me toward understanding how systems fail and how to make them more resilient. I'm currently working toward my AWS Cloud Practitioner certification to round out my cloud fundamentals.
