Studying full stack development to ship real products β web dev is a means to build, not the end goal.
"A Jack of All Trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one."
They say it like it's a bad thing. It's not. Every domain I touch makes me better at all the others β a developer who understands security, a hacker who can build, a builder who thinks in systems.

β Start before you're ready
β Build something broken, then fix it
β If it's interesting, dive in β decide priority later
β Every skill you pick up connects to another

Currently Active
- π CTF rooms & learning paths on TryHackMe
- π§ Linux internals & security labs via LabEx
- π Kali Linux β running in Virtual Machine for hands-on security practice
Targets
- π― eJPT / CEH Certification
- π Network Penetration Testing
- π‘οΈ Eventually break things professionally β not just in labs
The mission is simple: become a complete full-stack web developer. Not just someone who knows the pieces β someone who can architect, build, and ship real products from frontend to backend, end to end.
