What I'm looking for

I seek a role strengthening organizational security through hands-on digital forensics, red/blue team work, and AI-driven defenses, in a collaborative learning environment.

I am a results-driven cybersecurity professional with hands-on experience in digital forensics, malware analysis, and strategic defensive solutions.

I have executed red-team and blue-team exercises, leveraging tools like Autopsy, Metasploit, Kali Linux, and virtual machines to identify and remediate exploited paths.

My projects include a fullstack capstone simulating coordinated attacks and defenses, and a collaborative game development effort where I contributed scripting and presentation work.

I seek opportunities to strengthen cybersecurity posture using AI and cutting-edge technologies, bringing teamwork, technical rigor, and a focus on measurable improvements.
