I am committed to advancing cybersecurity through ethical hacking, malware analysis, and secure software development. My work focuses on understanding cyber threats at a technical level and developing practical defenses that strengthen organizational security. I am especially motivated by the investigative side of cybersecurity—using technical expertise to uncover malicious activity, support digital forensics, and help protect vulnerable populations from online exploitation. My long-term goal is to apply my skills in a law-enforcement, threat-intelligence, or cyber-investigation role where I can make a meaningful impact on digital safety.
