Focused on building secure, authentication-driven web applications while strengthening practical cybersecurity fundamentals.
I build learning-focused projects to understand how real systems are attacked and secured. I actively practice secure coding, backend development, and vulnerability awareness through hands-on projects and cybersecurity labs.
Currently seeking internship / entry-level opportunities where I can grow under mentorship and contribute responsibly.
