About Me

I am an undergraduate student at the University of Maryland College Park pursuing a degree in computer science with a specialization in cybersecurity. As a dedicated learner, I'm intrigued by all aspects of cybersecurity and continuously expanding my knowledge in this field.

My journey in cybersecurity has led me to develop a strong interest in network engineering, analysis, and digital forensics. I am particularly focused on understanding how networking functions in day-to-day operations and aspire to become a SOC Analyst.

I believe in practical, hands-on learning and regularly work on projects that enhance my skills in areas like Bitcoin tracing, script development, and network security.
