About Me
I'm a Cyber Security and Digital Forensics student based in London, currently pursuing my degree at Middlesex University. My passion lies in penetration testing, investigating cyber incidents, and understanding the intricacies of digital forensics.
I have a strong foundation in ethical hacking, network security, and digital investigations, which I continue to build upon through both academic and personal projects. My journey began with a year studying Computer Science at the University of Kent, where I developed a keen interest in cybersecurity.
Outside of academics, I lead the Cyber Security Society at MDX, running workshops, CTF events, and creating resources for fellow students. I also build tools and applications in my spare time, ranging from productivity apps to security testing utilities.
