Why Connect With Me

🛡️ Cybersecurity isn't just a field of study for me—it's a puzzle I'm genuinely obsessed with solving. I'm particularly drawn to defensive security and the challenge of building systems that stand strong against attacks.

Hit me up if you're into:

  • ✓ Blue team operations - Setting up rock-solid defensive measures and monitoring systems
  • ✓ SIEM implementation - Configuring alerts that actually matter and cut through the noise
  • ✓ Security automation - Building tools that make defensive work more efficient
  • ✓ Incident response - Trading insights on containment and eradication strategies

Real talk: I don't just study security—I practice it. If you're working on something cool or just want to geek out over securing systems, let's talk. (And yes, I play by the rules—my freedom is worth more than a CVE.)
