ABOUT

I'm 5pyd3r โ€” a cybersecurity practitioner with a strong computer science foundation and a sharp focus on offensive security. My obsession: understanding how systems break before adversaries do.

I've built honeypot assessment frameworks, engineered endpoint security research tools, and deployed SIEM pipelines โ€” all from scratch, all ethically.

Currently pursuing M.Tech in Cybersecurity, targeting red teaming and security auditing roles at enterprise organizations โ€” Big 4, Cisco, CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks.

When I'm not poking at attack surfaces, I'm mapping TTPs to MITRE ATT&CK, grinding CTFs on TryHackMe, or writing security research.
