About Me

I'm a cybersecurity enthusiast based in London who enjoys figuring out how systems break, and more importantly, how to defend them. My interest in security started through hands-on experimentation: building labs, analysing malware behaviour, breaking and fixing networks, and understanding how attackers think. Most of my learning happens by doing whether that’s running a small SOC lab at home with tools like Wazuh, Snort, and pfSense, digging through network traffic, or testing systems to see where they fail and how they can be made stronger.

WorldSkills UK Cybersecurity

In 2025 I competed in the WorldSkills UK Cyber Security competition, where I reached the national finals. After the competition I was invited to become a WorldSkills UK Skills Champion, helping promote Worlds Skills UK and cybersecurity and encourage more people to explore the field and compete.

Academically, I completed my BSc in Applied Computing with First Class Honours, and in September I’ll be starting an MSc in Information Security at UCL, where I hope to deepen my understanding of security, systems, and the constantly evolving threat landscape

I’m particularly interested in blue-team work — detection, monitoring, incident response, and understanding attacker behaviour. Recently I’ve also started exploring cloud security, and earned the AWS Cloud Practitioner certification as a starting point. Outside of cybersecurity, I enjoy photography, philosophy, and long walks. I like ideas, quiet observation, and the kind of curiosity that makes you ask “why does this work the way it does?”
