By day, I work as a Senior IT Analyst and Web Administrator for the Monterey County Sheriff's Office, where I manage mission-critical public safety systems, administer web domains, and support law enforcement operations through reliable, responsive IT. By night, I'm a Computer Engineering graduate student at UC Santa Cruz with a passion for software development and cybersecurity.
My journey into IT began with a love for cybersecurity, where penetration testing was my original goal. This foundation continues to shape how I study, program, deploy, and secure systems today. Whether writing automation scripts, reverse-engineering malware for fun, or deploying infrastructure at scale, I enjoy creating practical solutions that others can rely on.
I use this space to share personal projects, small tools, and experiments that reflect my ongoing growth as a developer and security-minded engineer.
