Information Technology & Cybersecurity Student | Security Tool Developer | U.S. Army Combat Veteran
I am an Information Technology and Cybersecurity student at Southern New Hampshire University focused on developing practical tools that improve operational security, automation, and system reliability.
My work emphasizes bridging cybersecurity theory with real-world implementation through open-source development. I enjoy building tools that help security analysts, developers, and system administrators automate workflows, analyze logs, and improve security posture.
In addition to my academic work, I operate a technology business specializing in marine system automation and environmental monitoring systems. This experience has strengthened my interest in securing operational technology environments where hardware, software, and environmental data intersect.
My long-term goal is to contribute to the development of secure infrastructure, cybersecurity tools, and automation systems that protect critical environments and modern digital ecosystems.
