Security Engineer | Applied Cryptography & Secure Systems
I ship working software and operate infrastructure across cryptography, applications, networks, and deployment boundaries. I trace trust assumptions through the full system and turn security requirements into maintainable code, deployed controls, and operational visibility.
I founded Defend I.T. Solutions, graduated summa cum laude from the University of Arizona's NSA CAE-CO Cyber Operations program, and begin an M.S. in Artificial Intelligence (Data Science) at Nova Southeastern University in fall 2026.
