About

I'm a senior at the University of South Florida pursuing a B.S. in Information Assurance & Cybersecurity Management, with a 3.88 GPA and hands-on experience in network forensics, incident response, and vulnerability assessment. I expect to graduate in Spring 2027 and am focused on cybersecurity, network defense, and secure software development.

From April to July 2026, I served as Chief Technology Officer at Coravu LLC, where I built a B2B recruiting platform connecting student competitions with employer recruiting pipelines. I designed PostgreSQL row-level security across 16+ tables and six user roles. I also bring hands-on IT experience and campus leadership through USF Housing and Student Government.

I'm exploring full-time opportunities after graduation in cybersecurity, network defense, or security engineering.
