What I'm looking for

I seek roles focusing on cloud-native/app development, cybersecurity, and automation within collaborative, Agile teams that emphasize learning and operational improvement.

I am a Master of Science in Information Technology candidate at the University of Texas - San Antonio, with hands-on experience in cloud computing, cybersecurity, full-stack development, and data analysis. I have delivered automation, dashboards, and secure integrations across academic and enterprise environments.

As an Application Developer Intern and Teaching Assistant, I built .NET/JavaScript analytics dashboards, automated reporting and grading workflows, supported Azure deployments, and mentored students in network security and cyber risk management. At Cognizant I automated business processes, developed embedded IoT software, reduced manual triage by 40%, and implemented secure APIs using OAuth, SSL/TLS.

I combine technical depth (Python, Java, C++, SQL, ServiceNow, Azure) with strong documentation, Agile collaboration, and process-improvement instincts. I pursue continuous learning—completing ServiceNow and cloud certifications—and I seek roles where I can scale secure, data-driven solutions and improve operational efficiency.
