About

Student. Builder.
Security enthusiast.

I'm a sophomore with a deep interest in how systems work — and how they break. From competing in CyberPatriot to building full-stack tools, I'm always pushing to learn something new at the edge of what I know.

When I'm not writing code or doing CTF challenges, I'm running, connecting with professionals in the cybersecurity field, or planning my next project.
