About Me

My experience spans security operations, vulnerability assessment, penetration testing, digital forensics, risk management, and ICS/OT security. Through academic projects, cybersecurity competitions, and professional engagements, I have developed hands-on experience with tools including Splunk, Nessus, Wireshark, Burp Suite, Metasploit, Nmap, Kali Linux, and Python.

Prior to entering cybersecurity, I served over eight years on active duty in the United States Army, including two combat deployments to Iraq and leadership assignments responsible for the protection of personnel and critical assets. Those experiences developed the discipline, attention to detail, and mission-focused mindset that guide my approach to cybersecurity today.

I am actively pursuing opportunities in Security Operations, Incident Response, Vulnerability Management, Risk Assessment, and Defensive Cyber Operations.
