About Me
I’m a passionate cybersecurity enthusiast and web developer from Sri Lanka. I specialize in penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, SOC monitoring, and cloud security. With hands-on experience in Metasploit, Burp Suite, Wireshark, and SIEM, I enjoy uncovering risks and building resilient systems.
Alongside cybersecurity, I build with Python, Django and WordPress — including custom plugins. I also write practical guides on security & Python.
