Professional Summary

Computer Engineering graduate with a strong interest in systems programming, Linux internals, networking, and security tooling. I enjoy understanding complex systems by building, modifying, and debugging them in isolated laboratory environments.

Currently focused on Go, protocol analysis, malware analysis, and open-source security projects while documenting my learning publicly through GitHub, technical articles, and educational content.
