What I'm looking for

I'm looking for an opportunity to apply my cybersecurity training and hands-on networking, hardware, and troubleshooting experience while continuing to grow in security operations and IT systems.

I've configured Ethernet switches, built cloud database infrastructure, and troubleshot network systems at Lantern Community Services to support facility operations.

As a freelance computer building and iPhone repair specialist, I've built 15+ custom PCs and repaired software and hardware issues for clients. I recommend hardware configurations based on performance needs and budget.

I'm ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity and hold the Google Cybersecurity Professional Certificate, with training in risk assessment, NIST Framework, LANs, VPNs, firewalls, and security operations.
