Aspiring Cybersecurity Student

With a background in web development and a long-standing interest in technology, I've become increasingly interested in cybersecurity and the systems that make the modern web secure, private, and trustworthy. My projects focus on exploring concepts such as authentication, web security, privacy, Linux, and applied cryptography through practical, hands-on implementation.

background

The Journey

I started by exploring technology and web development through HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and personal projects. As I learned more about how digital systems work, I became increasingly interested in cybersecurity — especially privacy, authentication, web security, and secure system design. Today I continue learning through hands-on projects, Linux, CTFs, and security-focused experimentation. I enjoy building tools that help me understand concepts by implementing them, rather than only reading about them.

  1. Where it started

    Web foundations

    HTML, CSS, and JavaScript through personal projects — getting comfortable building and shipping things on the open web.

  2. Curiosity grows

    How systems actually work

    Moving past "make it work" toward understanding what happens underneath — requests, responses, browsers, and the machinery of the web.

  3. The turn

    Into security

    Privacy, authentication, web security, and secure system design became the questions I wanted to spend my time on.

  4. Now

    Building to learn

    Hands-on projects, Linux, CTFs, and security experiments — implementing concepts to truly understand them, and documenting the process.

Projects

Three small tools I built to understand security and privacy by implementing them. Each one runs live, with the source open on GitHub.

Web security

Sentinel

Audit web security. Instantly.

An HTTP security headers analyzer that checks websites for important headers — CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, and Permissions-Policy — while explaining each one's purpose in beginner-friendly language.

Privacy & cryptography

Cipher

Beyond complexity. Into entropy.

A password strength and breach-auditing tool that visualizes entropy, estimates password strength, and demonstrates privacy-preserving breach checks using the k-anonymity model — so a password is never sent anywhere in full.

Client-side privacy

Permute

Transform files. Preserve privacy.

A privacy-first, browser-based file converter where conversions happen entirely on the user's device. Files never leave the browser and no uploads occur — the work is done locally, in the page.

platform

Wizminar

Wizminar is my technology platform where I document projects, experiments, and ideas across YouTube, X, Instagram, and my website.

Over the years, creating content has taught me the value of explaining technical concepts clearly and sharing the learning process publicly. The same mindset carries into my projects and cybersecurity journey.
