About
I'm a Security+ certified computer science student focused on cybersecurity and infrastructure, seeking a summer cybersecurity internship. I support campus networking, build hands-on labs, compete in CTF challenges, and mentor students through the TAMUCC Cisco Academy.
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.
