Profile

IT graduate with a strong practical orientation. Completed a master's thesis on OSINT-integrated phishing simulation frameworks and a 20-day internship in the Information Security department of OTP banka — working with IBM QRadar, Qualys, Symantec, Fortinet, and Check Point in a live banking environment.

Alongside academic work, independently designed and launched four live production websites for international markets (Croatia, Poland, Germany), demonstrating full-stack capability and applied SEO knowledge. Equally comfortable working across security, data, ERP, and web — a generalist who goes deep when needed.
