About Me

My journey from blogger to web developer and cybersecurity learner.

The journey

From Blogger to Developer & Cybersecurity Learner

What began as a casual Blogspot site in 2013 for storing APK games became my gateway into coding. Along the way, I worked as a blogger, content writer, and SEO specialist before diving into WordPress themes, plugins, and ground-up architecture.

Today I build a custom CMS with native PHP, Nginx, and MariaDB. I am also learning cybersecurity through CTFs and web security testing with CLI tools and headless browsers. It all runs from an affordable second-hand HP 14s laptop that has become my dependable home-server workhorse.
