About Me

Java Developer with a Focus on Security

I'm a passionate Java developer and cybersecurity student with a strong foundation in building secure applications and protecting digital infrastructure.

My Journey

I’m a final-year engineering student with a passion for building impactful solutions through technology. My skills span Java development, cybersecurity, and a bit of React for front-end work, along with hands-on experience using AI tools to enhance projects. I enjoy exploring how secure, efficient, and innovative software can solve real-world problems, and I’m eager to start my career where I can grow as both a developer and a security enthusiast.

I'm currently focused on combining these skills to develop secure, resilient applications that protect user data and withstand modern security threats.
