01 / About
Curiosity became a working discipline.
I study Information Technology at George Mason University with a concentration in cybersecurity, combining academic work with hands-on experience in security engineering, vulnerability analysis, infrastructure labs, and technical documentation.
My interest began with exploiting/modding games at a young age, helping friends and family troubleshoot operating system problems, and experimenting with different linux distros in a virtual environment. That curiosity developed into a methodical approach to understanding systems, identifying weaknesses, and communicating practical fixes.
Google Cybersecurity/CompTIA ITF+ certified, I continue to pursue opportunities that further deepen my technical skills in the cyber realm and contribute to more resilient systems.
