$ whoami

I'm a Computer Engineering student at the University of Florida, specializing in cybersecurity, with hands-on experience building full-stack web applications and agentic AI tools alongside a track record competing internationally in offensive and defensive security.

My work has combined software development internships — building and maintaining production platforms with SvelteKit, Next.js, and Supabase — with competitive cybersecurity, including a 3rd-place finish out of 77 international teams at the RTARF Cyber Warrior Competition in Bangkok and multiple national top-10 finishes in the Air Force Association's CyberPatriot program. I'm drawn to the intersection of the two: applying secure development practices to the software I build, and engineering instincts to the systems I try to break.

$ currently building: a full agentic development suite (Hermes agent)
