> Background

> With experience from Trust & Safety moderation at a leading video-sharing platform, I have developed key skills in analyzing content, enforcing policies, and identifying problematic patterns. My journey in IT began with programming, which gave me a solid foundation in technical problem-solving. Recently, I've been focused on building my cybersecurity skills through hands-on home lab projects in security monitoring, threat hunting, and incident response.

> Philosophy

> I believe security is a continuous process, not a destination. My approach combines proactive threat hunting with robust monitoring to detect and respond to threats before they become incidents. I'm committed to staying ahead of emerging attack vectors through continuous learning and research.
