About

Technical curiosity backed by hands-on projects.

I am pursuing a B.S. in Information Technology with a concentration in Systems and Cybersecurity at Georgia Gwinnett College. I enjoy turning technical concepts into practical projects involving security monitoring, Linux administration, network analysis, automation, databases, and object-oriented programming.

My goal is to build a career in cybersecurity or a closely related technical field where I can combine security awareness, technical troubleshooting, automation, and reliable systems thinking to solve meaningful problems.
