💻 Operations Engineer @ ThreatSpike Labs
🔐 Cybersecurity Researcher | Ethical Hacker | Forensic Analyst | AI Engineer
📚 Focused on Malware Analysis, Penetration Testing, Artificial Intelligence, and Digital Forensics

I specialize in cybersecurity, penetration testing, and exploit research, combining a background in software engineering with deep curiosity for offensive and defensive security. My passion lies in understanding and countering malware, rootkits, bootkits, trojans, and spyware—both through hands-on analysis and theoretical research. I have also undertaken a serious interest and passion in how artificial intelligence can assist in every aspect of cybersecurity research and being used ethically to combat cyber crime world-wide.

My mission is to bridge cybersecurity, AI, and law enforcement, using technology to protect vulnerable communities and investigate digital crime.
