Introduction
Hello, I'm Wivinne
I'm a 22-year-old Ethical Hacking student from Lommel, Belgium, currently pursuing a Bachelor in Electronics-ICT at Thomas More Geel. I'm a motivated, patient person with persistence and a hunger to learn, and I always strive to deliver outstanding results.
I want to apply what I learn about pentesting, network security and system administration in real IT environments. I believe in doing things right, documenting them well, and always looking for ways to grow and improve.
Beyond the screen
What sets me apart
Next to my studies, I keep learning through challenges and projects, and recharge with things that keep me balanced and inspired.
Reading
From psychology to science fiction, books expand my mind and fuel my imagination.
Nature walks
Walking in nature clears my head, resets my focus, and gives me extra time with my dog.
Creative projects
Doing fun things with friends and family. Make crafts, art, and design challenges.
CTF competitions
Taking part in Capture The Flag competitions to sharpen my technical mindset.
Personal projects
Working on projects outside of school to better my knowledge and expand my experience.
My motivation
Why Ethical Hacking?
Technology has always fascinated me. Not just how things work, but how they can be made safer for everyone. When I learned about the Ethical Hacking specialisation in the Electronics-ICT programme at Thomas More Geel, it instantly resonated with me: thinking like an attacker in order to protect.
In a world where data is one of the most valuable assets, protecting it matters enormously. I want to be part of the generation of professionals who find weaknesses before criminals do, and who make the digital world a safer place for individuals, companies, and communities alike.
Ethical hacking only works with permission, a clear scope and honest reporting, so knowing the law is part of my method. The mix of practical labs, theory and real-world relevance convinced me this was the right path.
