About Me

My introduction

I've been passionate about technology ever since I was young, exploring everything from video games and building computers to diving into programming. This passion led me to major in Software Engineering at Kennesaw State University.
My current interests lie in malware analysis, reverse engineering, and building tools that deepen our understanding of cybersecurity. I'm actively working on a side project called ASTRA Labs, a platform dedicated to exploring and teaching malware analysis and reverse engineering techniques through blogs, videos, and open-source contributions.
When I'm not working as a software engineer intern, I spend my time studying new technologies, tackling challenging projects, and refining my development environment (yes, I’m a proud Neovim enthusiast!). Whether it's coding, reverse engineering malware, or configuring dotfiles, I thrive on learning and taking on new challenges to grow both personally and professionally.
