Welcome to my space on the internet.
I am Nilton - a tech enthusiast, a lifelong learner and someone who's never quite satisfied with the way things are. I believe technology has the power to change lives. That belief drives me to keep learning, building and exploring new way to solve problems.
My Journey So Far
I wasn't always passionate about technology.
Growing up, I never imagined myself writing code or dreaming of launching a digital product. I just had this unshakable curiositiy - I wanted to know how things worked. I broke 90% of the toys I ever had, my mom gave me this name 'Mafufunhuze,' which basically means "someone who breaks everything." Whatever you guys want to call it, I call it intelligence (hahah). I think I wanted to know how and why things behaved the way they did, a reasonable excuse to why I broke everyhting, that curiosity makes me succeed and not exhaust this vast IT field.
It hasn't been a straight path. There have been challanges, doubt and plenty of late nights debbugging code or learning hacking, plus the coffee. A fall is only a fall if you don't get up and shake yourself off. Then it was just a lesson.
What I Do
I am passionate about cybersecurity and ethical hacking - the art of exploitation and protection of people and organizations by identifying vulnerabilities before the bad guys do. Like a batman. But behind the screen. And without Robin. It's about being a step ahead, thinking like a hacker but acting with integrity.
But of course easier said than done haha. The road from idea to reality is never easy but that's exactly it. The fun part. That's the challange that keeps me going.
Phew! Never though I'd freestyle this much again after highschool essays.
Why This Blog
I've created this blog to share what I'm learning along the way - whether it's about IT concepts, tips or just reflections on my journey.
This blog is for:
- People in IT or cybersecurity, newbie or old-timer
- Literally anyone
It's also a space for me to reflect and grow. Writing helps me keep track of stuff and if this happens to resonate with someone, that's a bonus.
I am tired now. Goodbye.
