About Me
Hey there! I'm Velen Tikhonov, a second-year Cybersecurity and Digital Forensics student at TU Dublin with a passion for all things tech and security.
My career path is focused on becoming a SOC Analyst, with the ultimate goal of working in Purple Team operations. I'm fascinated by the balance between offensive and defensive security—understanding how attackers think while building robust defenses. My interests span penetration testing, threat detection, incident response, network engineering, and digital forensics.
When I'm not studying security concepts or working on projects, you'll find me keeping up with the latest tech news, building custom PCs, or exploring new tools and technologies. I believe in hands-on learning and constantly challenging myself to grow my skills in this ever-evolving field.
