Cybersecurity Enthusiast
Data Science Major at Claremont McKenna College
Technology has always been a passion of mine. Over the past two years, I’ve developed a particular interest in cybersecurity. As a naturally curious and analytical person, I find this field especially compelling. What draws me to cybersecurity is the opportunity to be proactive in software design. I’m excited by the prospect of protecting critical systems as technology becomes increasingly intertwined with various aspects of life. This domain allows me to combine my love for tech with my desire to make a meaningful impact. I’m motivated by the opportunity to safeguard the digital infrastructure that our society increasingly relies upon. Welcome to Fall Writes Code!

Most Recent Project: Exploiting HTTP: A Practical Guide
This project was done during Nerd Night for the Buildspace organization on campus. It was a great event and I was happy to show what hacking looks like on a vulnerable machine.

IT Security Analyst
Learning at the IT Department, a little bit everyday, has been one of the most rewarding jobs ever. I can see exactly how my contributions aid in making things secure on campus.
- Project #1: Kali Linux-based system for identifying and correcting Windows file share permissions
- Project #2: Made a comprehensive crosswalk between PCI and NIST 800 to streamline compliance efforts
