About Me

Hi, nice to meet you!

I am a computer science student with an interest in software engineering and cybersecurity. I like exploring new tools and learning through hands-on experiences like hackathons. Beyond academics, I enjoy playing sports, travelling and photography. I value continuous growth and am always ready to take on new challenges!

Experience

I evaluate scam reports submitted by reporters, determine appropriate action paths, and support the takedown of malicious content through platform-specific requests.

I also regularly shadow the Software Engineer team, participate in technical info sessions and contribute to side-projects under their mentorship including a Malicious URL Detector.
