Currently studying Software Engineering at the University of Göteborg. I am eager to secure challenging roles in the Software industry, particularly in Penetration Testing and Cybersecurity. I love the entire IT subject and am always looking for new things to learn or ways to improve. I would love to chat about the industry.
