$ whoami
I'm Aegis — a first-year Ethical Hacking & Cybersecurity student at Coventry University. I work through the CMD module series (4014–4019), and am working toward the TryHackMe Jr Penetration Tester path.
Beyond coursework I'm a Quarter Finalist of the Cyber Leaders Challenge and an Ambassador for the National Cyber Forensics Alliance. I keep my notes in an Obsidian vault, tinker with Linux distros, and like building small tools to automate the boring parts. This site is one of those.
