Actively learning. Always curious.

Driven by curiosity,
secured by knowledge.

I'm Sampada Awal, a Computer Science & Information Technology (CSIT) student with a focused interest in cybersecurity.

From network protocols to ethical hacking fundamentals, I'm on a continuous journey to build both technical depth and real-world skills. I believe in learning by doing: labs, CTFs, and projects over passive reading.

When I'm not studying security concepts, you'll find me crocheting, drawing, or working on side projects that push my skills forward.
