About me.

I am Sem Vanuytsel, a bachelor student in Electronics and ICT specializing in Cybersecurity at Thomas More University of Applied Sciences.

I am driven by pure curiosity and the need to know exactly how things operate under the hood. In the digital world, I learn by spinning up lab environments, analyzing network traffic and ethically breaking systems to secure them.

Offline, I firmly believe in a balanced life. Stepping away from the computer to play football or make music is important to me, because having different passions keeps me energized and sharp.
