I got into cybersecurity because breaches are not abstract — they destroy businesses, expose people, and cause real damage. I wanted to be on the side that stops that.
I'm based in Dallas, TX, finishing my B.A.A.S. in Information Technology at UNT (Expected Fall 2026). I hold CompTIA Security+ and Network+, and I've been building hands-on skills across the full security stack — threat detection, network hardening, endpoint security, and cloud.
My approach is simple: earn the cert, build the lab, document the work.
What I'm focused on right now: threat detection and incident response, network and infrastructure security, system hardening, and AWS cloud security.
