About Me
I am a 16-year-old developer with interests in computer science and cybersecurity. I focus on building practical software, experimenting with systems, and understanding how machines behave under the hood. My work often includes low-level programming, troubleshooting unusual problems, and modernizing older hardware.
My GitHub includes school assignments, hosted websites for class projects, and other work I've built while learning. I keep those projects public so they can serve as a record of my progress and technical growth.
