About me

Defense-minded.
Offense-aware.

I'm a cybersecurity professional with hands-on experience in vulnerability management, security operations, and threat hunting. Currently working as a Security Engineer at Log N Pacific, I've driven measurable outcomes — including a 100% reduction in critical vulnerabilities and eliminating brute-force incidents entirely through targeted firewall hardening.

I hold a B.S. in Cyber and Data Security Technology from the University of Arizona and am actively pursuing my SC-200 certification. I thrive in fast-paced environments where proactive security posture matters.
