I’ve been a web developer for over a decade, which means I’ve spent a large portion of my life trying to convince computers to do what I meant, not what I typed. Somewhere along the way, I got interested in cybersecurity mostly because I realized how easy it is to break things and figured it’d be cool to be on the side trying to stop that.

I’m currently working on a master’s in Cybersecurity and Information Assurance because fixing bugs wasn’t stressful enough. I figured I’d study how people break things on purpose. I love digging into new technologies, asking questions, and solving problems, especially when there’s a puzzle to unravel. Now, I’m shifting my focus fully into cybersecurity and looking forward to applying both my development experience and everything I’m learning to help keep systems secure.
