The handle ‘Arri’ was a nickname I was called early, and it just stuck till this day. Unfortunately, there is no cool story behind it.

Technology was always a big part of my childhood, because my father works in the technology field. I was lucky to always be exposed to computers, so I was taught early how they worked. I always enjoyed tinkering with electronics to try and figure things out. My father gave me a laptop with a Linux distro on it and taught me how to use that system. In high school I started to become more interested in what vulnerabilities technology had, and what was needed to fix them. It was around that time that I realized cyber security was something that I enjoyed and it really caught my interest.

I took some classes on Python, HTML, CSS, and Java in high school and college. I use Python frequently, but I can read and alter many other languages. I am better at using Linux distros than Windows, although Windows is the OS that I have used the most.

I eventually found learning tools, like VulnHub and TryHackMe, that helped me increase my knowledge. These platforms allowed me to further learn about exploiting vulnerabilities and other aspects of pen testing. I have made this site to share my journey and accomplishments while I attend Penn State to earn my Cyber Security degree.

My current certifications include:

• OffSec Certified Professional+ (OSCP+)
• OffSec Certified Professional(OSCP)
• CompTIA Pentest+
• CompTIA Security+
• CompTIA CySA+
