About

I am a Computer Engineering student at Drexel University concentrating in security technology, graduating in August 2026. I’ve worked in cybersecurity and software engineering roles where I’ve done alert investigation, log analysis, detection engineering, and incident response support. I've also worked on various projects across my roles pertaining to modernizing small and large scale systems, from event log collectors to mainframe computers.
