About

I'm a cybersecurity student in Germany with a background in computer science and information systems. That combination gives me a broader technical base than a narrow security focus alone.

My practical interests are Linux administration, network security, and self-hosting. I maintain a small lab for containerized services, monitoring, and configuration experiments while keeping operational details private. I've worked with Wireshark, Nmap, Suricata, and Splunk through coursework and independent study.

On the software side, I mostly write Python and Bash. I've done backend work with Django and have some experience with C and assembly from systems-level coursework. I'm currently looking for a Werkstudent position, internship, or entry-level role in IT security or SOC analysis. German C1, English B2.
