About Me

Hello, Im Caden, a developer and a cybersecurity student with a strong interest in building practical and useful tools. I have a background in software engineering and spend alot of my time exploring areas like malware analysis, threat detection and secure systems design. Whether im developing a project, looking at network logs or expirementing with Raspberry Pi setups, I enjoy solving complex problems and learning something new along the way.

Lately, ive been interested in projects that combine AI and cybersecurity, along with building reliable systems that are nice to look at and are able to work in real world environments. I care about writing solid code, understanding how things work and continuously learning and improving my skills. My goal is to create a portfolio that reflects the depth of my skills and my creativity, in order to keep growing into someone who can make a real impact in the field.

In my free time, you can find me working on side projects or diving into CTF's, but I also make time for gaming, working out or playing with my cat!
