Hi, I'm
Sanjeel.

Technology isn't just what I study — it's what I think about, tinker with, and talk about way too much. I'm looking for a place to channel that energy into work that actually matters.

Hello 👋
Sanjeel Shrestha
About Me

IT Graduate,
Security-Focused.

I'm an IT student based in Sydney with a growing passion for cybersecurity and networking. I'm drawn to understanding how systems work, how they're attacked, and how to defend them.

I've spent the past year getting hands-on experience in IT support, working with real networks, users, and infrastructure. That experience showed me where I want to go — and cybersecurity is it.

I'm currently building my skills, working on projects, and looking for an opportunity to break into the industry properly. If you're looking for someone hungry to learn and grow in security, let's talk.
