Security Engineer | Secure Systems & Infrastructure
I build secure software, infrastructure, and network defenses for real-world operations. Each project turns clear requirements into systems that teams can deploy, monitor, and maintain.
Professional experience includes founding Defend I.T. Solutions and supporting Python courses at the University of Arizona. I graduated summa cum laude from the university's NSA CAE-CO Cyber Operations program. Graduate study in Artificial Intelligence with a Data Science concentration begins at Nova Southeastern University in fall 2026.
