Security-cleared full-stack developer with hands-on cybersecurity skills.
What I'm looking for
I am a security-cleared Navy veteran and full-stack developer with a strong focus on building secure, scalable web and mobile applications. My hands-on experience in cybersecurity equips me with the skills to analyze network traffic, block malicious requests, and ensure performance and reliability in every project I undertake.
Throughout my career, I have gained proficiency in various security tools and techniques, including Wazuh, Wireshark, and Metasploit. I have successfully led full-stack development projects, such as a race event platform, where I engineered a robust admin dashboard that improved monitoring capabilities and significantly reduced query response times. My commitment to precision and a mission-first mindset drives me to deliver high-quality results in all my endeavors.
