I'm a Cybersecurity and Full-Stack Development professional with hands-on experience in vulnerability assessment, penetration testing, and network security. My passion lies at the intersection of building secure, scalable web applications and protecting enterprise systems from cyber threats.

I specialize in identifying and mitigating OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, conducting risk assessments, and implementing security best practices. On the development side, I work with Java, Spring Boot, React.js, and Laravel to create high-performance applications with robust backend APIs and responsive front-end interfaces.

My toolkit includes security tools like Nmap, Wireshark, Burp Suite, and Metasploit for vulnerability analysis, alongside modern development technologies for building reliable software solutions. I thrive on the challenge of creating systems that are both feature-rich and impenetrable.

Beyond technical work, I've participated in coding competitions and volunteered at college technical events, contributing to the tech community while continuously expanding my skill set through certifications in cloud infrastructure, ethical hacking, and network administration.
