Hey there, I'm Farhad 👋

Cybersecurity Engineer ∙ Red Teamer ∙ Security Researcher

CompTIA Security+ ISC² CC TryHackMe


🚀 About Me

I fell in love with Linux and the command line as a kid. What started as curiosity turned into years of coding, CTF competitions, and eventually a career in cybersecurity.

My focus is offensive security: penetration testing, red teaming, and understanding how systems break. But I also have solid experience on the defensive side from both academic coursework and professional work with SIEM tools, incident response, and threat detection.

What I'm up to now:

  • 🎓 Final semester of Erasmus Mundus CYBERUS Master's at University of Luxembourg
  • 🔬 Starting a Cybersecurity Internship in February 2026
  • 🏆 Top 2% on TryHackMe with 189+ rooms completed
  • ✍️ Writing CTF writeups and security guides on Medium
