Making and breaking things online

About

I thrive in collaborative environments where the goal is to drive change and create meaningful impact. My experience working internationally with diverse teams has equipped me with the ability to understand audiences, empathise with them, and deliver solutions that matter.

After starting my career as a Web Developer, I've worked with technologies such as PHP (Symfony), Twig, React.js, Next.js, HTML, SCSS, and JavaScript. This foundation has given me strong problem-solving and technical skills, as well as an appreciation for accessibility and secure coding practices.

I'm now expanding my interests into cybersecurity, where I’m particularly interested in web application security. I'm actively building my skills through hands-on learning, including PortSwigger Academy challenges, to deepen my understanding of vulnerabilities and secure development. My goal is to combine my development expertise with a security mindset to help build safer, more resilient systems.
