02 / ABOUT ME
Hello!
I’m Thilanga Dilshan, a third-year undergraduate at SLTC Research University, pursuing a career as a security operations center (SOC) analyst.
My studies focus on security monitoring with SIEM tools, network traffic analysis, incident handling, and log analysis. I also enjoy building websites and applying secure development practices.
Always learning. Always asking why.
What drives me

Let’s connect ↗Good things
Good things
start with
a conversation.
Have a project in mind, a security challenge to explore, or something worth learning together? I’d love to hear about it.
A little about connecting
Curiosity is a good starting point.
From cybersecurity labs to thoughtful web projects, I’m interested in exchanging ideas and building useful things with people who care about their craft.
Learn. Build. Collaborate.
