JAYDEN WILLIAMS ASPIRING SECURITY PROFESSIONAL
Building security skills through hands-on practice. Currently learning penetration testing, web security, and automation through labs, CTFs, and personal projects.
// About Me
My Security Journey
I'm currently building my foundation in cyber security through hands-on learning platforms like TryHackMe, HackTheBox, and OverTheWire. My focus is on understanding core concepts through practical application: how vulnerabilities work, how to identify them, and most importantly, how to think like both an attacker and a defender.
Learning Through Practice
I learn best by doing. Whether it's following guided labs, working through CTF challenges, or setting up my own vulnerable VMs to practice attacks, I'm constantly experimenting and documenting what I learn. I'm building the practical skills that will make me effective in a junior security role while developing good documentation habits from day one.
