[jimit@cybersec ~]$ whoami

Cybersecurity student at University of Technology Sydney, pursuing Master of Information Technology (Extension). Former Full Stack Developer transitioning into offensive security and penetration testing.

With a foundation in software development from my time at Quicko and Printerverse, I bring a developer's mindset to security. I understand how applications are built, which helps me break them effectively. Currently deep-diving into web application security, network penetration testing, and threat hunting.

Active on Hack The Box with 66 compromised targets and ranking in the Top 10%. Constantly learning through hands-on labs, completing security modules across offensive and defensive domains.
