What I'm looking for

I'm looking for opportunities to apply Python, SQL, Bash, and Linux to vulnerability assessment, incident response, threat detection, and practical IT security challenges while continuing to grow in cybersecurity.

I'm building cybersecurity experience through vulnerability assessments, incident response, threat detection, and hands-on security labs at Virginia Tech.

At ForgeWell Digital, I resolved CRM access issues, reviewed login activity for configuration errors and suspicious attempts, and documented account recovery procedures. I also promoted multi-factor authentication to reduce recurring support requests and speed up employee recovery.

As a self-employed eCommerce founder, I designed, branded, and launched a full website that generated approximately $1,000 in first-month sales. I hardened the site with a custom robots.txt file, optimized SEO and ad performance through sales and user-data analysis, and ran campaigns across Meta platforms, TikTok, and Threads.

I apply Python, SQL, Bash, and Linux to simulate attacks and strengthen systems, while staying active in Virginia Tech's Cybersecurity, Entrepreneurship, and BIT clubs.
