Muntazir Mehdi — Cyber Security Researcher
Hello! I’m Muntazir, a Cybersecurity graduate currently working as an IT Support Specialist. I enjoy building, securing, and experimenting with technology, and I’m driven by a desire to understand how systems connect and how to protect them.
Since graduating, I’ve been gaining hands-on experience in IT support — assisting users, managing systems, and learning the real-world side of infrastructure and security. I’m also pursuing the CPTS certification on Hack The Box and building my own homelab, where I explore tools, containerize services, and automate secure self-hosted environments.
