Cybersecurity student at Virginia Tech who built a schedule-matching service with private-network access and Discord alerts.

I built GameFinder, a self-hosted service that combines two users’ work schedules to find shared free time and posts alerts to Discord. I added a mobile web app for claiming time slots and restricted access to a Tailscale private network.

In my ongoing Home Network & Security Lab project, I deployed Pi-hole DNS filtering on a Raspberry Pi and configured WireGuard for remote access. I’m building out SIEM and log monitoring, along with a vulnerability scanning and remediation workflow.

I’m also building a local-LLM coding tutor with guardrails tested against known jailbreak techniques, and a custom framework for AI agents. My Python news scraper classifies articles by tone for OSINT-style threat-intelligence and policy research.

At Virginia Tech, I served as Policy Lead in NCX, analyzing security documents and answering policy questions; the team placed 3rd in NCX and 14th in the DOE CyberForce Competition. I’m studying Cybersecurity Management & Analytics, and CompTIA Security+ is in progress.
