Hi, I'm Shihab Ahammed

Computer Science Student | Cybersecurity Enthusiast | Linux User | AI Explorer

I'm passionate about cybersecurity, Linux, AI, programming, and building secure systems. I'm currently studying Computer Science while continuously learning ethical hacking, C++, networking, and modern software development.

About Me

Get to know me better and see what drives my passion for technology.

Hello! I'm Shihab Ahammed, a motivated Computer Science student based in Dhaka, Bangladesh, currently studying at Southeast University.

My journey into technology began with a deep curiosity about how systems work. This led me to explore Linux, transitioning from standard desktop environments to advanced dual-boot setups and customizing Arch Linux to fit my workflow perfectly.

I have a strong passion for Cybersecurity. I spend my time understanding networking protocols, learning ethical hacking fundamentals, and solving Capture The Flag (CTF) challenges to hone my skills.

When I'm not studying or hacking away in the terminal, I enjoy playing video games, exploring new AI tools, and tutoring others in ICT.
