About
I'm Ares, a recently graduated cybersecurity professional from Howest Bruges, Belgium. I'm passionate about penetration testing, incident response, and digital forensics.
When I'm not poking at systems or writing reports, I'm usually building side projects, attending CTF events, or exploring new security tools. I believe in learning by doing. Most of my knowledge came from breaking things and (hopefully) figuring out how to fix them.
I'm currently looking for opportunities where I can combine my security mindset with hands-on development work. Whether that's pentesting, QA, or building defensive tools. I'm ready to contribute, learn, and grow in a collaborative environment.
