Hello, I'm David Gichuru and welcome to my corner of the web. I'm a Web Developer and junior network engineer I'm passionate about tech and love learning new things I am a detail-oriented individual who takes pride in ensuring that every aspect of a task is carefully considered and executed to the best of my ability. I'm also a team player who thrives in a cooperative environment and a quick learner and always looking for new ways to improve my skills and knowledge.

The Particular fields of tech I'm interested in are as follows

This is what got me into tech. I stumbled upon some videos on YouTube where I saw security professionals doing some pretty interesting things with the browser and the Kali Linux command line and I was sold. At the time I did'nt know what they were doing but I knew I eventually wanted to do it 😄

  Kali Linux - The most prefered pentesting linux distro

  `Parrot OS` - My prefered pentesting linux distro

  Hack The Box - A platform full of machines to attack and learn from as well as competitions

  PortSwigger - A platform for learning and practicing web security

  TryHackMe - A platform for learning and practicing security concepts

  Pico CTF - A platform full of CTF challenges from beginner to advanced

  Cisco - A learning platform to learn networking, linux, cybersecurity and more

Try hack Me and Hack The Box have really taught me alot and the best part is, I'm not done learning.

  Wireshark - For network analysis and troubleshooting

  Nmap - For recon

  Burpsuite - For learning web security

I developed an interest for networking as soon as I first learned about basic web protocols. Since then I decided to explore the world of networking with Cisco and took a CCNA course and earned some credetials along the way.

I really like the web and want to make some of the most beautiful websites in existence. I enjoy front-end development and warming up to backend development. I have a number of completed projects and solved challenges that you can view and learn from. Just make sure to attempt the challenge before taking a look at how I solved it 😉

  HTML - for structure

  CSS - for making things pretty

  JavaScript - for making dynamic websites and web apps

  React JS - beacause of it's modular approach to building user interfaces and code reusability

  Bootstrap - for quick styling

  SQL - for databases

  Electron JS - for taking the web to the desktop environment

  Python - For scripting

  VS Code - Because it is lightweight, easy to use and has a wealth of extensions that improve the developer exeprience

  Node JS - This provides a runtime for running JavaScript applications

  Vite - This is a really handy tool for scaffolding, developing and bundling web applications quickly and painlessly. It gets everything up and running really fast

  Figma - This design tool helps me view designs and make some of my own so that my front-end applications can look as good as possible.

  Lunacy - This compliments Figma by giving me access to features figma doesn't have like offline editing and viewing

Git - For version control
