About Me

Jayson Asiado

Personal Background

I am a Computer Science student with a growing passion for cybersecurity, currently exploring penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, and security operations. Through hands-on practice with CTF challenges and self-directed projects, I'm building practical skills to identify and understand security vulnerabilities.

As I continue my journey in cybersecurity, I'm actively learning both offensive and defensive security techniques. I document my learning process through CTF writeups and personal projects, constantly experimenting with new tools and methodologies. My goal is to develop a comprehensive understanding of security that combines technical skills with problem-solving abilities.

Philosophy

I believe true security expertise isn't just about knowing tools, but about understanding the "why" behind every vulnerability. Every CTF challenge and every broken system teaches me something new. I approach cybersecurity with curiosity and persistence, knowing that the best defenders are those who think like attackers. My journey is just beginning, but I'm committed to learning something new every day and sharing that knowledge with the community.
