About Me

I am a Cybersecurity professional in training, currently pursuing my Associate of Science in Computer Science at SNHU. My approach to technology is defined by a “learn-by-doing” philosophy—transitioning from a foundational background in IT Support into the specialized world of Offensive Security and Penetration Testing.

What sets me apart is my commitment to a deep-level understanding of the digital landscape. While I am well-versed in enterprise environments like Windows 11 Pro and macOS, my true passion lies in the terminal. Whether I am conducting network audits on Kali Linux, analyzing RF signals with my LILYGO CC1101, or experimenting with sub-1GHz vulnerabilities using my Flipper Zero, I am constantly pushing the boundaries of my home lab.

I thrive on the challenge of “breaking to build.” From capturing WPA2/3 handshakes to completing complex rooms on ethical hacking platforms, I am dedicated to mastering the attacker’s mindset to build more resilient defenses. I am an eager learner, a relentless troubleshooter, and am highly motivated to connect with the industry to help secure the future of our connected world.

    Cybersecurity Skills

    My current focus is the intersection of Offensive Security and Network Infrastructure. I am actively building a portfolio of skills that bridges the gap between identifying vulnerabilities and implementing hardened defenses.

    Specialized RF & Hardware: Hands-on experience with Sub-1GHz signal analysis, Bluetooth (BLE) sniffing, and HID attack vectors using the Flipper Zero, LILYGO CC1101, and BLEShark Nano.

    Penetration Testing: Proficient in the execution of the PTES lifecycle, including reconnaissance, automated scanning (Nmap, RustScan), and web application exploitation (SQLi, XSS) using Burp Suite and Caido.

    Network Security: Deep understanding of the OSI model, TCP/IP protocols, and VLAN segmentation. Experienced in capturing and analyzing traffic via Wireshark and auditing wireless security (WPA2/3) using monitor mode and packet injection.

    Defensive Foundations: Certified in Google IT Support & Networking, with a strong background in system administration, troubleshooting, and identity access management.

    Google Helpdesk & IT Support


    Earning the Google IT Support Professional Certificate gave me a strong foundation in the core skills that keep modern systems running securely and efficiently. I gained hands‑on experience with troubleshooting, operating systems, networking fundamentals, system administration, and security best practices, all through real‑world labs and scenarios. The program strengthened my ability to diagnose issues, manage users and devices, work confidently in Linux and Windows environments, and apply structured problem‑solving techniques used by IT professionals every day. This certification became a launching point for my transition into cybersecurity, reinforcing both my technical skills and my commitment to continuous learning.

    Penetration Testing Certifications


    My certifications from TryHackMe and HackSmarter reflect the hands‑on, challenge‑driven side of my cybersecurity training. Through guided labs, real‑world attack simulations, and progressively harder scenarios, I built practical skills in enumeration, exploitation, privilege escalation, web application security, and Linux/Windows post‑exploitation techniques. These platforms pushed me to think like an attacker while staying grounded in defensive best practices, helping me develop a methodical approach to problem‑solving and threat analysis. Completing these certifications strengthened my confidence in navigating unfamiliar systems, identifying vulnerabilities, and applying ethical hacking techniques that translate directly into real‑world security work.
