Background

I'm a cybersecurity engineering student at the University of Kansas with a minor in Data Science. I specialize in building infrastructure and full-stack applications while focusing on cybersecurity. My work focuses on the intersection of data engineering, cloud infrastructure, and developer experience.

I believe in writing simple, maintainable code and building systems that are reliable and secure.

When I'm not coding, you'll find me watching my favorite shows

, playing basketball/football, competing in hackathons, or watching the latest movies.
