From curious tinkerer to security engineer

My path into tech started the evening of my last A/L exam in 2020, when I decided to enter IT. What followed was years of relentless self-learning — web development, Python, data science, design, and AI — until I found the field that truly stuck: security.

I'm a builder who got into breaking. I explored a lot of disciplines, and what once felt like a lack of focus turned into my biggest advantage: I understand systems from both the developer's and the attacker's side. Every detour eventually led me back to security — so I lean into being versatile while going deep where it matters most.

Today I'm a Security Engineer at Welford Systems. I secure backend endpoints and still ship full-stack products and automation tools on the side.
