About

From building Discord Bots, I progressed to Backend Development and now operate as a versatile Full Stack and DevOps engineer. When I'm not building software, I dive into Cybersecurity via TryHackMe CTFs or create YouTube content on Cybersecurity and Discord bots. My practical skills are further sharpened by managing my own homelab featuring 3+ enterprise servers.
