About
I’m a cybersecurity practitioner focused on the blue team — threat detection, log analysis, incident response, and continuous learning. I’m currently working through a structured certification path (ISC2 CC → CompTIA Security+ → CySA+) while building hands-on skills through CTFs, home lab work, and security tooling projects.
This site documents the work: writeups, tools, notes, and the honest account of learning cybersecurity from the ground up.
