Build, break, learn
and have fun.

Computer Science grad focused on cloud security — I build and harden my own networks and Linux systems, automate with Python, and hold CompTIA Security+. Currently pursuing AWS Solutions Architect – Associate.

Who I am

I'm a career changer with a B.S. in Computer Science, coming from a maintenance and operations background. I got into tech because I kept wanting to know how things actually worked — and once I started pulling on that thread with networking and Linux, I couldn't stop.

Most of what I know I learned by breaking things in my homelab and figuring out why. Right now that means VLANs, self-hosted services, and a lot of time in the AWS console. I focus on cloud security — not because it's a hot job category, but because it's the part where the stakes are real and the problems are interesting.

I hold CompTIA Security+ and I'm working toward AWS Solutions Architect – Associate. The projects on this site are the actual things I've built — not tutorials I followed.

  • CompTIA Security+ (Aug 2026)
  • ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity (CC)
  • Google Foundations of Cybersecurity
  • LPI Linux Essentials
  • ITIL v4 Foundation
  • CompTIA Project+
  • CIW Site Development Associate
