About Me
I'm a 22-year-old software engineering student passionate about cybersecurity and digital forensics. Currently in my third year at Fontys Netherlands, I'm specializing in forensic cybersecurity to combine my love for coding with protecting digital systems.
During my second year, I had the opportunity to intern at Libelnet, where I gained hands-on experience in real-world software development and security practices. This experience solidified my commitment to building secure, reliable applications.
