About

Who I Am

I'm Abdulkareem Umar Faruq, a cybersecurity student passionate about understanding how systems are attacked — and how to defend them. Currently pursuing studies in cybersecurity while earning industry-recognized certifications from Google via Coursera.

My focus areas include network security, Python-based security automation, and the foundations of ethical hacking. I believe the best defenders think like attackers.

I'm always building, always learning — whether it's crafting custom security scripts, diving into CTF challenges, or dissecting malware behavior.
