CIS student pursuing a future in Cybersecurity. Passionate about protecting systems, understanding threats, and building secure digital infrastructure.

Building a foundation in security

I'm a Computer Information Systems student at Cal Poly Pomona with a 3.98 GPA and a strong interest in Cybersecurity, network defense, and practical technical problem-solving.

My experience is grounded in coursework, personal projects, hands-on labs, and cybersecurity competitions, where I continue building skills in networking, system security, and threat analysis.

Outside the classroom, I sharpen those skills through platforms like Hack The Box and picoCTF while continuing to learn from real-world tools, labs, and independent study.
