I build secure software, infrastructure, and network defenses for real-world operations. Each project turns clear requirements into systems that teams can deploy, monitor, and maintain.
Based in Ocala, Florida, I work across software, infrastructure, networking, and security operations. That range helps me find problems at the boundaries between systems. My approach is practical: define trust boundaries, limit access, design safe failure modes, and keep systems easy to operate.
Professional experience includes founding Defend I.T. Solutions and supporting Python courses at the University of Arizona. I graduated summa cum laude from the university's NSA CAE-CO Cyber Operations program. Graduate study in Artificial Intelligence with a Data Science concentration begins at Nova Southeastern University in fall 2026. Target roles include security engineering, DevSecOps, and secure software development.
