Background

About

Software, security, and the process of becoming better at both.

I started with games. The interest became much broader.

I’m a Computer Science student with a long-standing interest in programming, game development, and cybersecurity. I first became interested in code because I wanted to understand how games were built and eventually create worlds of my own. Over time, that curiosity developed into a passion for making software and understanding the systems underneath it.

Current direction

My current focus is the intersection of software engineering and security. I’m especially interested in DevSecOps because it treats security as part of the engineering process rather than something added after deployment. I have also enjoyed exploring game development and computer graphics.

I’m building experience across C++, Java, F#, Python, Linux, Splunk, Raspberry Pi systems, networking, OpenGL, and computer vision, unity, and various other workflows while continuing to strengthen the underlying computer science fundamentals.

Why I care about the work

I want to build things that are useful, understandable, and resilient. Long term, I also want the opportunities created by a career in technology to translate into something larger than the work itself, specifically, supporting underserved communites and contributing to causes that strive to create meaningful change in our communities.

Anything worth doing is worth doing right.
