MOTIVATION
My studies in cybersecurity sparked a deep interest in how software, processes, and hardware interact at a low level. Hands-on projects — from RSA implementations to Android apps and microprocessor exercises — showed me the value of understanding both software and hardware layers. I am eager to write code that talks directly to hardware, develop firmware skills, and grow in a collaborative, mentoring environment. Disciplined and committed to continuous learning.
