What I'm looking for

I'm transitioning out of active duty and relocating to Tokyo in 2027 to pursue a BS in Computer Science at Temple University Japan. I'm eager to connect with tech professionals, cybersecurity experts, and innovators.

At United States Navy, I administered an air-gapped tactical network and mission-critical hardware, following DoD security protocols and information assurance standards. I handled daily network maintenance, monitoring, and troubleshooting.

I'm a U.S. Navy veteran and cybersecurity analyst with six years of experience, an Active Secret Clearance, and CompTIA certifications including CySA+, Security+, Network+, and A+. I'm transitioning out of active duty and plan to pursue a BS in Computer Science at Temple University Japan.
