What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to apply my cybersecurity skills in a collaborative environment, focusing on real-world challenges and continuous learning.

I am a dedicated cybersecurity student with a strong foundation in ethical hacking, cryptography, and network security. My hands-on experience includes organizing Capture The Flag (CTF) competitions and delivering cybersecurity education to over 30 attendees through online courses. I am currently pursuing my Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) certification to further enhance my offensive security skills.

Throughout my academic journey, I have engaged in various projects focused on risk management and reverse engineering, contributing to national cybersecurity programs during my internship at the Ministry of Digital Economy & Entrepreneurship. My participation in over 100 cybersecurity competitions has honed my problem-solving abilities and teamwork skills, allowing me to rank among the top competitors in several events.
