I’m Shishir Ghimire — currently pursuing a BSc (Hons) in Cybersecurity & Ethical Hacking at Softwarica College of IT & E-Commerce (affiliated with Coventry University, UK). My focus areas are penetration testing, digital forensics, red team operations, and building my own security tooling. Based in Kathmandu, Nepal.
