About Me

I am a cybersecurity researcher with two years of experience specializing in ethical hacking, vulnerability assessment, and web application security. I have completed two internships focused on offensive security, malware analysis, and exploitation techniques.

I actively participate in bug bounty programs and have uncovered multiple valid vulnerabilities in organizations such as NASA, Harvard University, and Justice Gov UK.

I am skilled in proactive threat detection, security auditing, and remediation strategies, making me a strong asset in strengthening cybersecurity defenses.
