Who Am I?

I love learning how things work, and how they break. I graduated from Baylor in 2025 with a B.S. in Computer Science and a concentration in cybersecurity. Today I'm a software engineer at L3Harris, where I build Java services and work on RHEL servers. Security is the subject I never stop studying. I captained Baylor's CCDC red team, helped found Cyber@Baylor, and still work through labs on HackTheBox and TryHackMe.
