About me

About me

Cybersecurity student in Wrocław focused on penetration testing internships, with SOC as a secondary path — lab research first, clear reports second.

Updated 2026-10-21

How I got here

I study Cybersecurity (CBE of IT systems) at Wrocław University of Science and Technology. Fascination with how networks and web systems fail turned into a habit: stand up a lab, read the code or the traffic, and write down what actually happened.

What I work on

Most of my practical work is WordPress and web vulnerability research in isolated environments, plus networking foundations from completed CCNA coursework. I care as much about the report as about the finding — vendors fix what they can reproduce and understand.

What I want next

I am looking for a penetration testing internship first, with SOC as a strong secondary interest. I am flexible on start date and work model. I am not aiming at a software-development track.

Outside of security

Amateur football keeps the week balanced. The rest of the time is labs, coursework and writing things down carefully.

01 Profile

Profile & how I work

Penetration testing internship candidate with hands-on web vulnerability research and a 4.62 GPA.

Cybersecurity student on the CBE of IT systems track at Wrocław University of Science and Technology (engineer programme, expected graduation February 2028). I focus on web application security and WordPress plugin research: mapping attack surface in a lab, confirming issues safely, and writing clear reports for vendors.

Alongside studies I have documented coordinated findings — including a reserved CVE pending its public reference — and I keep networking foundations sharp through completed CCNA coursework. I am looking for a penetration testing internship first, with SOC as a strong secondary interest; I do not position myself as a software developer.

  • Technical writing and structured reporting (Controltec + disclosure reports)
  • Working independently on lab research with clear written outcomes
  • Communicating findings so a developer can act without guessing
  • Ethical testing only in authorised or self-hosted lab scope
