About

I'm a cybersecurity professional based in Tampa, Florida, with a background in infrastructure, networking, and secure system design. I hold a degree in Cybersecurity from the University of South Florida and CompTIA Security+ certification. Outside of work, I run a homelab on Proxmox where I build and break things — from self-hosted services to threat-detection experiments. I'm passionate about understanding how systems fail, how attackers think, and how to build defenses that actually hold up.
