## Welcome ✋

#### `$whoami`

👋 Hi, I’m **dev-angelist**, a Cyber Security Enthusiast with a strong passion for **IT**, **ethical hacking**, and **knowledge sharing**. I believe in working smarter, automating repetitive tasks, and constantly pushing my skills further. 👨‍💻 \
✍️ This blog is my personal knowledge repository where I document everything I learn from **Cybersecurity**, **Pentesting**, and **Computer Science and Technology** though certifications, lab machines (CTFs), challenges, and real-world experiences. 📔

💡 My advice? **Experiment boldly.** Test every tool and technique you come across. Some might fail, but those failures can teach you the technical reasons why—and might even inspire you to create your own hacking tool!  ✏️

🥅 The **goal** is simple: to share insights, techniques, and ideas that can help others on their cybersecurity journey. 🙏 I hope these notes help you as much as they’ve helped me while creating them. 👈 Check the **menu** on the **left** to get started! 🚀
