About

Rooted in a mission-driven mindset, I work at the intersection of cybersecurity, systems engineering, and cloud operations. I’ve spent the last few years learning how to secure large-scale environments, mentor teammates, and break down complex problems into clean, scalable solutions.

I enjoy tackling security from both a technical and strategic level, and I’m always pushing to learn new tools, frameworks, and ways of thinking. Outside of work, I’m about growth, creativity, and not letting anything feel stagnant for too long.
