About
I’m a cybersecurity student at Bellevue College with hands-on experience in security operations, penetration testing, and tool development. I’m drawn to work that sits at the edge of offense and defense understanding how attacks work in order to build better defenses.
Most recently I worked as a SOC Analyst with PISCES International, analyzing real-time events from critical infrastructure organizations and building custom tooling on top of OpenSearch and ElasticSearch to streamline triage workflows. Before that, I founded and led the Bellevue College InfoSec Club, running weekly labs on topics like network exploitation and privilege escalation, competing in PRCCDC 2026, and producing educational content for our YouTube channel.
Outside of work I maintain a personal homelab, build static sites with Astro and Hugo, and write small tools in Python.
In my spare time I’m usually out hiking, camping, or behind a camera lens. I also enjoy experimenting with different linux distros, troubleshooting tech for friends and family, or smashing headcrabs in H a l f - L i f e .
