I am a USF cybersecurity student and CIBR Lab researcher building practical experience in Security Operations Center monitoring, log analysis, Active Directory administration, malware analysis, and defensive security.
About
Following the Evidence
My work sits where technical curiosity meets operational rigor. I like systems that leave evidence: logs, authentication trails, packet captures, endpoint events, cloud telemetry, and the quiet patterns that show what is really happening.
I am building toward a cybersecurity analyst role where I can apply threat detection, incident response, vulnerability assessment, and risk-focused thinking in a high-trust team environment.
