👋 Hey there! I’m an aspiring Cybersecurity professional, with a love for bridging research and practice. My primary interests are 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗗𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗰𝘀, the security of emerging technologies such as 𝗦𝗼𝗳𝘁𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲-𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 (𝗦𝗗𝗡) and 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘁-𝗼𝗳-𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 (𝗜𝗼𝗧), and 𝗠𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴.

🤩 I’ve always been driven by a strong desire to contribute, whether that means conducting security research that advances understanding, developing tools that make systems safer, or supporting my peers through mentoring and shared learning. Cybersecurity to me is as much about collaboration and community as it is about code and configurations.

💛 I love sharing what I know and learning what I don't. If you'd like, please visit my portfolio site at https://visal-dam.github.io for more details on my work! I'd love to connect via LinkedIn as well! Thank you for visiting!
