Who I Am

Learning to code. Asking questions. Breaking things on purpose.

Started with web dev — HTML, CSS, JS. Lately the focus shifted toward penetration testing. Running Kali Linux, working through CTFs, learning how systems actually fail.

Active in jtechforums.org and mitmachim.top. Motto: ask questions, learn, repeat.

How I Think

Curiosity is not a disadvantage — it's a big advantage.
Every bug is a learning opportunity.
Google and Stack Overflow are valid tools. Use them.
Community helps when you're stuck. Ask. Always.
Small progress is still progress.
