About

Driven by a deep curiosity about hidden systems, both digital and human, I focus on cybersecurity, behavioral analysis, and network theory. My interests lie in ethical hacking, digital forensics, and the psychology of online behavior. I enjoy solving complex puzzles, conducting OSINT investigations, and visualizing data to uncover unseen patterns. With a passion for both logic and theory, I aim to bridge technical precision with intuitive insight in the study of emerging cyber threats and digital identity.

Graduate school interests

I am interested in graduate research that explores advanced methods of cyber threat detection and behavioral forensics. My passion lies in uncovering hidden patterns within digital systems, particularly those that involve social engineering, digital identity obfuscation, and encrypted criminal networks. I seek to combine technical skills in penetration testing and cryptography with a deep psychological understanding of threat actors to contribute to national and organizational cybersecurity resilience.
