About Me
Ciao bello! I’m Giabbi (short for my name, Giancarlo Umberto). I’m an Italian-born cybersecurity enthusiast and future CS student at Carnegie Mellon University. I built this site to both track my journey and have some fun (and by fun I mean flexing my skills of course). Here's some stuff I like to do:
- Solving challenges on TryHackMe or similar websites and learning from every win (and every “wait, why did that work?”)
- Teaching CS to people of every age, which secretly helps me sharpen my own skills
- Experimenting with AWS, tinkering with my raspberry pi, and the occasional overly ambitious Python project (hey, no one died... yet)
I log everything here, failures included, because if I forget how I solved something, chances are someone else might too. If you’re learning like me, benvenuto amico mio!
