### Whoami

Name’s <mark>~Vigneshwar</mark>. Just an ordinary guy who enjoys exploring how things work under the hood, especially when it comes to breaking and securing systems. Nothing extraordinary. Not an expert. I’m the kind of person who enjoys testing things out, messing with tools, and learning by doing. Most of what I know comes from trying, failing, and trying again.

I come from a software development background, and over time, I started leaning more towards security. I’ve since completed my **Master’s in Cybersecurity and Privacy**, and have been progressively deepening my focus in the field — exploring web security, participating in CTFs, diving into Active Directory labs, and building or customizing tools along the way.
