Hello
Here's who I am and what I do.
Welcome to my portfolio. I share my journey in IT and cybersecurity with a focus on cloud security, practical labs, scripting, and project based learning. I like building things that solve real problems, document the process clearly, and show the kind of work I can bring to a team.
- Navy veteran with calm under pressure troubleshooting
- Focused on cloud security, AWS, and defensive security practices
- Building a portfolio through labs, automation, and hardware projects
PROFILE
About Me.
I am a proud Navy veteran with an AS in Cybersecurity and I am currently pursuing a BS in Cybersecurity. My path into cloud security is built on a foundation of security fundamentals, risk management, systems administration, and hands on technical troubleshooting.
I have been developing practical experience through cloud labs, internships, scripting projects, and portfolio work that reflects real operational thinking. My military background shaped how I approach problems: stay calm, pay attention to details, document the work, and finish the mission.
My goal is to help organizations secure cloud environments, improve visibility, and build security processes that are realistic, useful, and resilient.

Extras
A few interests outside the main project section that still connect back to how I learn and stay curious.
Books & Learning
I like reading about cybersecurity, cloud technology, and practical IT operations. That usually turns into notes, experiments, and more ideas for future projects.
Hardware & Troubleshooting
I spend a lot of time building, rewiring, testing, and iterating on electronics and system setups. I like understanding how the pieces actually work together.
Growth Mindset
I am focused on growing into cloud security and security operations work while continuing to sharpen my technical writing, documentation, and communication.
