01 / ABOUT
My perspective
Cybersecurity makes more sense to me when I understand the systems behind it.
That's why I'm interested not only in security, but also in networking, operating systems, programming and the way technology works as a whole.
That curiosity took me beyond my main specialization to study engineering at TU Darmstadt in Germany. Now, I'm focused on connecting what I learn in the classroom with practical work through labs and personal projects.
