Who I Am

I've been fascinated by computers since I was 6 years old. Born in Tbilisi, Georgia and raised in Belgium, technology has always been part of my world.

I'm studying Cloud & Cyber Security at Thomas More Geel because I want to understand how systems work — and how to protect them. I'm a self-learner who adapts fast and always wants to go deeper.

At home I run two OrangePi servers: one with Nextcloud for personal cloud storage and one as a general-purpose home server. Real hardware, real challenges, real learning.

Why I Do It

I'm not just studying IT to get a job. I genuinely love technology — and I want to use it to build something meaningful, both for society and for myself.

My ambitions stretch beyond the classroom. From protecting national infrastructure to eventually running my own business — I think big and I work hard to get there step by step.

Every skill I learn, every server I set up, every problem I solve brings me closer to the career — and the life — I'm working towards.

🛡️

Protect & Serve

Cybersecurity that protects real people and real systems — that's the impact I want to have.

💼

Entrepreneurship

A future business of my own — combining tech expertise with a business mindset.

📚

Lifelong Learning

Technology never stops evolving. Neither do I. Self-learning is my biggest strength.

My Ambitions

01
🛡️

Become a Cybersecurity Specialist

My primary career goal is to become a professional cybersecurity specialist. I want to master both offensive and defensive security — understanding how attacks happen so I can prevent them. Penetration testing, system hardening, and threat analysis are at the core of where I'm heading.

🏛️

Work for the Government

I want to put my skills to work protecting national infrastructure and critical systems. Working in cybersecurity for the government means the work truly matters — every day you're helping to safeguard the digital backbone that millions of people depend on without even knowing it.

Career · Long-term
03
💼

Build My Own Business

After gaining real-world experience in the industry, I want to start my own business. Whether that's an IT consultancy, a cybersecurity firm, or something else entirely — I have an entrepreneurial mindset and the drive to build something from the ground up. Having my own company is a long-term goal I'm already thinking about today.

Expand My Home Lab

My two OrangePi servers are just the beginning. I want to keep building, experimenting, and pushing the limits of what I can self-host and manage. A proper home lab is the best classroom a security and cloud student can have — hands-on experience that no textbook can replace.
