About Me

Hey there! I'm Dhia, a Computer Engineering student based in Istanbul 📍. I have a strong passion for cybersecurity and enjoy exploring the world of penetration testing.

I'm always learning and developing my skills, particularly in Linux, Python, and SQL, which are essential tools for the cybersecurity and IT sectors. My goal is to become a skilled security professional who can help organizations protect their digital assets from emerging threats.

When I'm not studying or working on security projects, I enjoy participating in CTF challenges, contributing to open-source security tools, and staying updated with the latest cybersecurity trends.
