About
I'm a computer science student focused on cybersecurity, networking, and infrastructure. I build hands-on home labs, compete in CTF challenges, and mentor fellow students as they find their footing in security and networking.
I spend my time building a hands-on home lab — virtualization on Proxmox, DNS filtering with Pi-hole, and a WireGuard VPN — while competing in capture-the-flag challenges and helping fellow students find their footing in security and networking.
