About
I'm a cybersecurity practitioner focused on offensive security, OSINT, and the security of connected systems. I recently completed my B.S. in Cybersecurity Systems at St. John's University, where I served as Captain of the STJ CyberStorm competitive team and Vice-President of the ACM Student Chapter. I'm now starting my M.S. in Cybersecurity at The City College of New York, where I plan to focus my research on how open-source intelligence, social engineering, and technical exploitation work together in modern attacks.Along the way, I've competed in regional and national cybersecurity competitions including the NECCDC Regionals and multiple CTF events (top 3 finishes at BSides NYC, Hofstra University CTF, and ISC2 Hack-A-Thon at NYIT). Outside of competitions, I build my own tools and environments. Past projects include BADQt, a low-cost pentesting device, and a personal cyber range where I practice full attack chains and run Blue Team monitoring tools like Falco, Grafana, and Prometheus. When I'm not working on cybersecurity, I'm probably singing, gaming, taking photos, or trying food I've never had before.
