★ the person behind it ★
hi, i'm naomi.
third-year software development student, hobbyist hacker, and person who gets genuinely annoyed when people use password123. i built this site because cybersecurity affects everyone. and most resources either talk down to beginners or assume you already know what a MITM attack is.
i'm learning in public. i don't have a OSCP yet, i'm not a professional pentester, and i'll be honest about that. what i do have is genuine curiosity, quite a couple of HackTheBox hours, and a habit of building things to understand them better.
//001 — what i'm working on
HackTheBox Academy
actively working through modules
HTB Academy is where a lot of my current learning lives. i'm working through a mix of everything. linux, networking, web app attacks, password cracking. it's hands-on in a way that actually sticks, which fits how i learn.
›Linux Fundamentals
›Networking Basics
+ more modules in progress — check my HTB profile for current progress.
//002 — things i've built
main portfolio →web dev
my web development work - projects, case studies, and the rest of what i've built during my software dev studies. separate from this site intentionally.
github repos →open source
various side projects, experiments, and coursework. ranging from polished to 'i was learning something at 1am'. a lot of its public.
home labin progress
currently getting into self-hosting and network testing at home. building out a small lab environment to practice what i'm learning on HTB in a real context.

// about this site
built with Next.js 15, Tailwind v4, and zero tracking. hosted on a subdomain of my main domain. intentionally separate. the subdomain itself is a small flex: it means i set up DNS records, thought about separation of concerns, and didn't just chuck everything on one domain like a normal person would. view source on GitHub →
