Cyber Intelligence & Security

Tradecraft,
built in code.

I'm a rising senior at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, an Army Reserve ROTC cadet pursuing 17A Cyber Warfare Officer, and someone who'd rather build the tool than wait for one to exist.

Focus areas

Where I spend my hours

Offensive security

Red team tooling

Building and using tools for adversarial simulation and pre-engagement OPSEC validation, grounded in a red team internship with the Army Research Laboratory's Cyber & Electronic Warfare Division.

Forensics

Malware & digital forensics

Sample analysis, reverse engineering, and log/pcap investigation using Ghidra, IDA Pro, and sandboxed detonation environments.

Leadership

Security community

President of the Ethical Hacking Club, co-founder of the AI+ Lab, building programs, budgets, and people, not just exploits.

Infrastructure

Homelab & systems

A Dell PowerEdge R640 running local AI inference, file sync, and network services: the place I test ideas before they become projects.

Selected work

A few things I've shipped

In development

RedReady

An open-source pre-engagement OPSEC validation scanner for red team operators.

Team Leader

CyberAero

ERAU's outreach CTF for high schoolers. I lead the team behind it and built its 2025 network forensics challenge.

2nd, Nationals

FBLA Case Competition

Helped build a tool for safely integrating AI-produced code into naval design work at NSWC Carderock.

2nd place, team

Cyber Rodeo

ERAU Daytona's NASA-NSF CTF. Competed as a sophomore and personally scored the most points on the team.
