About me.

I'm from Fishkill, NY, and I start my B.S. in Cybersecurity (Security Threat & Analysis) at Iona University in Fall 2026. While most applicants list coursework, I list deployments: a serverless job-alert pipeline, an encrypted password manager, a SaaS product with real billing.

My approach is simple: build it, break it, harden it, document it. Every project runs through GitLab CI/CD with SAST scanning, because security that isn't automated is security that gets skipped.

Off the keyboard, I'm a competitive bagpiper — 1st place at the North American Championship (2025), 8th at the World Championships (2024). World-stage performance under pressure translates directly to incident response: preparation, composure, execution.
