About

Defense starts with understanding the attack

I'm a 19-year-old Cybersecurity student chasing a childhood dream — focused on Network Defense, Cloud Computing, and Infrastructure Security. Currently a Network Defender & AWS Cloud Architecture student at Bar-Ilan University.

I'm continuously improving my skills through practical labs, real-world scenarios, and hands-on projects. My learning journey spans networking technologies, security solutions, and cloud architecture — with the goal of becoming fluent across the full stack of network security and eventually teaching others the same skills through structured courses.
