Defense-Focused
I believe cybersecurity is ultimately about protecting people, not simply protecting devices. My interest in security began after seeing firsthand how devastating scams and cybercrime can be for individuals who do not have the knowledge or resources to protect themselves.
My background in networking, database engineering, automation, reporting, and operational leadership allows me to understand how technology connects across an organization. I can investigate problems technically while also explaining risks and recommended actions clearly.
I bring curiosity, persistence, documentation, and a security-first mindset to every environment I support.
Let’s Connect
Let’s Secure Something Together.
I am interested in opportunities involving cybersecurity analysis, defensive security, network administration, vulnerability management, incident response, and secure infrastructure.
