About

Sophomore Cybersecurity student at USF with a background in Electrical Engineering. DFIR and threat intelligence are the core lane. Building toward founding the Tactical Intelligence Group.

B.S. Cybersecurity CIBR Lab Researcher Security+ NSBE Tech Dev Chair

Who I Am

I'm a sophomore Cybersecurity student at the University of South Florida with a background in Electrical Engineering. My core lane is Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) and threat intelligence, and I'm expanding into signals security and hardware/firmware. I bring an engineering foundation to security work, which means I understand the physical layer most analysts never touch.

I'm a research assistant at the USF CIBR Lab, working alongside criminologists and security researchers on behavioral AI interaction research and the SeniorSafe AI project. I serve as Technical Development Chair for NSBE USF, running workshops, developing Arduino curriculum for K-12 outreach, and leading technical programming for a 100+ member chapter.

Everything right now is infrastructure. The long-term target is founding the Tactical Intelligence Group (TIG): a defense technology firm operating at the physical-digital threat boundary. Elite DFIR internship Summer 2027. That's the mission.
