Software Developer & Cybersecurity Enthusiast

Bridging the gap between secure development practices and innovative software solutions. I build robust applications while training the next generation of cybersecurity professionals.

About Me

My journey began in software development, where I discovered my passion for creating secure, scalable applications. Over the years, I've evolved into a dual-role professional, combining hands-on development with cybersecurity training.

As a certified cybersecurity enthusiast, I’ve been trained in secure development practices and have had the privilege of delivering sessions on secure coding, threat modeling, and defensive programming. My approach bridges the gap between theoretical security concepts and their real-world application.

Today, I specialize in building applications with security-first principles while training development teams to think like attackers and code like defenders.
