Activities & Leadership

Completed an end-to-end penetration-testing scenario by connecting reconnaissance, discovered weaknesses, exploitation, and privilege escalation into a coherent attack path.

Secured the win in a demanding mixed-category competition through disciplined challenge selection, steady communication, and strong collaborative problem-solving.

Entered solo, adapted quickly to an auto-formed team, and finished second to qualify for the finals—an exercise in communication and effective collaboration with new teammates.

Returned with my main team for a competitive mixed-category CTF and secured another national podium through consistent teamwork under pressure.

Executed a full penetration-testing chain: passive reconnaissance and OSINT, cryptography and steganography, service exploitation, then Linux privilege escalation through SUID abuse and a vulnerable custom binary.

Finished fourth in a tightly contested event that strengthened our challenge triage, resilience, and coordination across intensive technical tasks.

Focused on forensics and web security across realistic scenarios involving malicious network traffic, compromised virtual machines, incident analysis, and privilege escalation through JWT weaknesses.
