Core focus areas
01 / who i am
Security is a mindset.
Curiosity. Discipline. Continuous improvement.
I'm Uwes Kulabkar, a B.Sc. Computer Science graduate building practical knowledge across cybersecurity and IT infrastructure.
My learning covers system administration, network fundamentals, ethical hacking concepts, cloud platforms, programming, and security operations. I enjoy exploring how systems work, understanding where weaknesses can arise, and practicing in authorized lab environments.
This portfolio is a home for my evolving skills, hands-on exercises, and technical journey. Every project represents progress, not a claim of mastery.
