I'm a Cyber Security graduate currently working as an IT Security Administrator, managing infrastructure and security for a corporate environment. I recently earned my CPTS certification from Hack The Box, which is what solidified my focus on the offensive side of security.
Outside of work, I spend most of my time studying how Windows works under the hood, practicing attack chains on Hack The Box, and learning how malware actually operates at a low level. What really interests me is the overlap between system internals and offensive tradecraft, especially AV and EDR evasion.
Right now I'm working through the CRTP (Certified Red Team Professional) course and going deeper into Windows internals, malware development, and C/C++.
Delivered first‑line support, fixed common hardware/software issues, set up new PCs, installed and updated applications, ensured systems were secure, and handled account management (create/disable/reset passwords). Logged support requests and escalated complex problems to senior IT staff.
Performed vulnerability assessments and penetration testing on APU lab devices, identified and resolved vulnerabilities, and delivered clear reports with findings and remediation steps.
Deployed and supported lab PCs, imaged devices, configured standard accounts, troubleshot hardware and software issues, and created documentation and user guides for the APU Knowledgebase.
