I am a third-year Cyber Security student at Birmingham City University with a strong interest in cybersecurity, networking, Linux, and security engineering.
I enjoy developing practical technical skills through hands-on labs, home lab environments, network analysis, penetration testing exercises, and security-focused projects. I am particularly interested in understanding how systems work, identifying security weaknesses, and developing practical defensive solutions.
My goal is to develop into a Security Operations Centre SOC Analyst or Penetration Tester.
I am currently focused on strengthening my practical skills across Linux, networking, system administration, security monitoring, network enumeration, penetration testing, and security investigation.
Alongside university coursework, I build and document hands-on cybersecurity projects to develop experience working with real technologies and realistic security scenarios.
