Expiry: 3 years
Took my time with this one and managed to complete this within 2 weeks (perks of unemployment). With this, I finally wrapped up all the main quests I had planned before my National Service. Maybe I pick up some side quests when I am bored.

I wanted to treat it like a side quest (currently in the middle of studying for CRTE), but it turned out to be one of the hardest quests I've tackled so far. From realizing how rusty I am at Initial Access (IA) to writing custom scripts, I really had to rack my brain for this exam.

This certification highlights my next step in Active Directory pentesting. I really enjoyed the course materials, labs, and exam. Using Cobalt Strike as my C2 was something new to me, and it made the whole experience feel gamified.
OSCP+: 3 years Expiry
OSCP: No Expiry
Completing the OSCP+ was a major milestone I set for myself, and I'm proud to have achieved it before turning 20. This certification represents the beginning of my offensive security journey, not the end. I'm excited for the challenges ahead as I continue to sharpen my skills and grow into a skilled Red Teamer.
Expiry: 3 years + 3 years (CRTE)
Achieving CRTP helped me meet my personal goal of earning two certifications before 2025. Diving into Active Directory penetration testing sparked a deep interest in this area, and I'm looking forward to exploring more AD-focused certs in the near future.
Expiry: 3 years
This was my very first penetration testing certification and a crucial stepping stone. I treated it like a warm-up challenge to build confidence before tackling more advanced certs. Shoutout to a close friend who encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone and go for it.
Position: Associate System Engineer
I completed a 22-week internship at Argentra Solutions Pte. Ltd. as part of my final semester. During my time there as a Associate System Engineer, I worked primarily on automation tasks, learning scripting and tools like Ansible. It was an enriching experience that deepened my interest in systems and virtualization.
