I'm Sahan Chathumina, a cybersecurity and network engineering student focused on building practical experience across network security, Linux administration, system administration and web development.
My main technical interests include cybersecurity, network infrastructure, ethical hacking, Linux server administration, network troubleshooting and secure system configuration.
I enjoy building and testing practical lab environments rather than learning only through theory. My work includes networking, DNS, DHCP, firewalls, SSH, Apache, Linux hardening, security testing and network analysis.
Alongside infrastructure and security, I'm developing my Full Stack Development skills, with WordPress as my main focus, supported by technologies such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP and MySQL.
I'm continuously learning, experimenting with new technologies and turning what I learn into practical projects and labs. My long-term goal is to build strong expertise across cybersecurity, networking, systems and modern web development.
