Bobby Ma

Cybersecurity student building practical projects, documenting what I learn, and turning a home lab into a real engineering playground.

Interests: blue-team foundations, detection & response, Linux hardening, and building tooling that makes security measurable.

Current Status

Building my portfolio + blog • Running an Ubuntu home server with monitoring + Discord alerts • Preparing to publish hands-on lab writeups

What I’m focusing on

Linux & Infrastructure

Hardening servers, service monitoring, backups, and clean deployments.

Detection Thinking

Learning how to translate attacker behavior into telemetry and rules.

Security Labs

Building repeatable exercises and documenting the results clearly.

Writing

Short, practical posts that explain what I built, broke, and fixed.
