+## About Me
+My name is Darnell Keith, and I am an aspiring security professional and Navy veteran with a strong background in IT, sales, and e-commerce. What drew me to cybersecurity was the same curiosity I had as a kid—taking things apart to see how they worked, then putting them back together. That habit evolved into a passion for understanding and securing systems.
+
+**I believe a security professional shouldn't be confined to a single discipline—understanding comes from a holistic view of how systems interact. I learn, build, and operate with that mindset every day.**
