👤 About
Security-first developer. Every endpoint is fortified, every payload validated.
After his family's small business was devastated by a data breach, Ibrahim swore no system he touched would ever be compromised. He pen-tests his own side projects for fun and once found a critical vulnerability in a popular open-source library during a weekend binge.
