Profile

I graduated with a First-Class BSc in Cyber Security & Digital Forensics from Kingston University London. I am working towards my first role as a junior penetration tester.

I practise on TryHackMe, working on both SOC investigations and offensive labs, and I run a small home lab with virtual machines for security testing. I want to join a team where I can learn from experienced testers.
