A Little About Me

I am a Cybersecurity and Digital Forensics student at the University at Albany, maintaining a 4.0 GPA while gaining hands-on experience in network engineering and security.
In my role as a Student Assistant with New York State’s Department of Internet Technology Services (ITS), I’ve worked with Cisco, Arista, and Palo Alto devices to configure secure network segments, optimize traffic flow, and troubleshoot network issues.
I also use Splunk and Arista Telemetry to analyze and resolve network data, contributing to high availability in production environments.
As the Chief Technical Officer for the Cyber Defense Organization (CDO), I design and implement infrastructure for the Great Dane Defense Competition (GDDC), where I lead workshops and create hands-on learning opportunities for students.
I’ve also participated in research at the Facets Cyber Defense Lab, testing and evaluating cybersecurity tools and conducting red team attack simulations using the MITRE ATT&CK framework.
Certified in CompTIA Security+, I am working toward additional certifications like PCNSA, PCNSE, and cloud-related credentials.
I am passionate about malware analysis, reverse engineering, and red team activities, with projects on GitHub focused on C2 servers, malware, and network analysis.
My goal is to continue developing my skills and contribute to meaningful cybersecurity initiatives.
