About Me
Hello, I'm soki, a passionate young web and game developer, cybersecurity enthusiast and IT student.
I love everything that revolves around computers and technology and love exploring new areas and learning new skills.
Cybersecurity
I have been interested in cybersecurity for many years now and have learned many things on platforms like HackTheBox, TryHackMe, Haxagon, and various other CTF or "chall" sites.
I even took a shot at bug bounties, with underwhelming results. :(
Game Dev
For several years, I have immersed myself in game development on Roblox, contributing to various small projects, primarily by creating and scripting user interfaces.
I have also experimented with other engines like Unity, Unreal Engine, and Godot, as I felt that the Roblox engine was too limiting in certain ways. I particularly working with Godot, which provided me the opportunity to try out programming in C# .NET.
Web Dev & Design
I have designed and built websites for many years. Most of these were just practice projects that helped me improve in various aspects like web design, JavaScript, or building responsive websites.
I have written quite a lot of websites in plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript, as well as jQuery. I took a stab at frameworks too, like React or Svelte. And this site is made using Astro.
Education
I am currently attending a high school specialising in IT, with plans to take to focus on Computer Networks & Cyber Security in my specialised classes.
Looking ahead, I'm excited to pursue my studies at the Faculty of Applied Sciences at the University of West Bohemia.
My long-term goal is to progress through Bachelor's (Software Engineering), Master's (Software and Information Systems), and potentially a Ph.D. in Computer Science, depending on future opportunities.
Interests
I'm a person of many interests, you might even say that I'm a generalist rather than a specialist. I like to discover and learn new things and I try to get some knowledge and experience in every new area I discover.
