What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can apply cybersecurity-focused thinking to real systems—building and integrating APIs, improving reliability, and strengthening security. I want mentorship, hands-on projects, and opportunities to ship measurable improvements.

I’m a student pursuing a B.S. in Computer Science and Engineering with a focus in Cybersecurity, and I bring hands-on experience across software development, embedded systems, and IT support. I enjoy turning ambiguous requirements into working solutions that save time, reduce risk, and keep systems reliable.

As a Software Engineering Summer Intern at Gartner Inc., I analyzed Workday integrations and helped determine solutions for the HR department. I developed an automated software solution using an API to process data and produce results in half the time, and I algorithmically analyzed 400+ integrations while visualizing results with Power BI.

On the IT side, I’ve supported faculty and students through the UConn ITS Call Center and AV Technician role, resolving computer issues efficiently through clear communication and problem-solving. I’ve also worked as an IT Technician where I set up and configured server and network infrastructure (patch panels and network switches), and troubleshot, imaged, and repaired computers.

I back up my interests with projects that blend software and security thinking. I’ve built Python/JavaScript tools for an embedded 64x64 LED matrix hackathon project, created Qt-based C++ IC Chip Test Fixture software, developed stealth scanning scripts using scapy, and configured a secure Mattermost Organization Server behind a Wireguard cloud proxy.
