Malware Analyst & Reverse Engineer

Specialized in reverse engineering, malware analysis, and kernel-level security research

About Me

I'm a dedicated reverse engineer and malware analyst with a passion for understanding how malicious software works at its core. My journey in cybersecurity has been driven by curiosity and a commitment to making systems more secure.

From analyzing password stealers and unpacking obfuscated binaries to diving deep into Linux kernel rootkits, I've developed a comprehensive skill set in static and dynamic analysis.

I also contribute to open-source kernel development, which deepens my understanding of OS internals and helps me better identify malicious system-level modifications.
