My Journey
My passion for technology started when I was very young, back when I first began messing around with Linux, experimenting with old-school techniques that are no longer in use today. Although I graduated with a diploma in Computer Science, life initially took me down different paths. For financial reasons, I had to take on a series of jobs that weren’t related to my true passion.
However, I always knew where I belonged. One day, I realized that whenever I was working on cybersecurity and hands-on labs, hours would fly by in what felt like seconds. That was my wake-up call. It made me realize that this isn’t just a hobby—it’s what I am meant to do for a living. As Confucius famously said: “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.”
Now that I have achieved financial stability and have the time to fully dedicate myself, I have been completely focused on cybersecurity for the past year. I am an enthusiastic, self-driven student who learns by directly attacking vulnerable machines and practical labs.
Technical Focus & Goals
While I enjoy all aspects of ethical hacking, my absolute favorite part of penetration testing is Active Directory (AD) environments.
I have high standards and clear targets for my professional growth:
- Short-term: Obtain the OSCP (Offensive Security Certified Professional) certification.
- Long-term: Tackle the advanced OffSec certifications, with the ultimate dream of achieving the OSCE3 (Offensive Security Certified Expert).
What’s Next?
My goal is to build a solid career as a Penetration Tester. I am looking to gain at least two years of professional experience here in Europe, lay down strong foundations, and then… who knows where this journey will take me next!
