builds & breaks systems.
Computer Science student with a focus on Cybersecurity and embedded systems. YouTube Creator at Root@Panos#, university cybersecurity team member, and active CTF player.
A bit of background
I'm a Computer Science student currently in my second year at the Democritus University of Thrace. My focus spins around Cybersecurity and Embedded Systems, bridging the gap between hardware security and software vulnerabilities.
Outside of class, I am an active member of the University Cybersecurity Team, participating in training sessions and coordinating our participation in Capture The Flag (CTF) competitions. I also run the YouTube channel Root@Panos#, where I create videos about cybersecurity walkthroughs and PCB design, proudly sponsored by PCBWay.
I am highly dedicated, with a strong work ethic and a passion for finding out how things fail before malicious actors do. Currently looking for internship or entry-level opportunities.
