About

Cybersecurity student at Penn State pursuing dual B.S. degrees in Cybersecurity Analytics & Operations and AI Methods & Applications (3.81 GPA). Hands-on experience in penetration testing, network defense, and cloud infrastructure, with a 1st-place Capture the Flag (CTF) win and a 4th-place national finish in the National Cyber League (NCL) Spring 2026. Teaching Assistant supporting 60 students in CYBER 100.

What I work on

Security. Penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, log analysis, and system hardening — practiced both in coursework and across 20+ competitive events with Penn State’s Competitive Cyber Security Organization.

Infrastructure. As Cloud Systems Administrator for CCSO, I build the environments other members break and defend: intentionally vulnerable routers, Linux servers, and Windows hosts, configured with Ansible and deployed on OpenStack via Heat templates with Ceph storage.

Linux, deeply. I run Gentoo. That habit turned into lazygentoo, an installer that automates LUKS full-disk encryption, custom kernel builds, Secure Boot signing, and TPM2 auto-unlock bound to PCR 7 — and into reach, a tiling Wayland window manager I wrote in Zig on top of the river compositor.
