ABOUT ME
My journey to get into the cybersecurity world started in the last days of my high school. Back then, I was aware about hackers being around and always thought they were the bad guys due to misusing the skills they own and that they have unstoppable powers and how they do everything is unknown.
That was until I heard about the term “cybersecurity” which I instantly became surprised to know that such field exist where you can learn how to become a hacker to stop a hacker and start to secure digital systems and assets.
The aspect of contributing positively to the tech world, along with the significant responsibility entrusted to cybersecurity professionals, became a driving force behind my passion.
