About Me
More than just code and security — I'm passionate about solving complex problems through technology and design.
In my element: Building secure, efficient systems
Who I Am
I am a Cybersecurity Graduate Student at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, passionate about bridging the gap between data automation and digital defense.
With a unique background spanning agricultural data analytics, software development, and cybersecurity, I bring a multidisciplinary approach to solving complex technical challenges. My work combines rigorous analytical thinking with creative problem-solving to build systems that are both secure and efficient.
My journey into cybersecurity began during my master's research in data analytics, where I built automated ETL pipelines for international trade data. This experience taught me the critical importance of data integrity, security, and automation.
Today, I'm focused on developing expertise in:
