01 / Profile

Security is technical.
Trust is human.

My path connects an academic foundation in information security with communication, technology and a drive to build.

PERSONAL PORTFOLIO / 2026
DETECT · DEFEND · DETER

I'm an Information Security postgraduate focused on understanding how attacks happen, how risk is managed, and how security teams respond.

At Royal Holloway, I studied cryptography, network security and security management, performed academic risk assessments, and analyzed cloud-based DDoS attack patterns.

Beyond cybersecurity, I bring experience in business development, Android development and web development. Today I am building SHIELD as an emerging cybersecurity and AI initiative while pursuing junior cybersecurity and SOC analyst roles.
