Greetings! This is one of many repos I contribute to - though this is the only one that has been made public.

I’m a Full Stack Platform Engineer and tech enthusiast with a deep passion for security, privacy, and ethical technology. My journey started in the music industry, where I honed creativity and pattern recognition over 15 years. Today, I channel that same creativity into software engineering, pentesting, and red teaming, focusing on secure, scalable solutions that make a real impact.

I hold a CompTIA Security+ (and working on more) certification and bring a strong foundation in secure system design. What sets me apart is my ability to combine analytical problem-solving with creative thinking—helping me spot vulnerabilities, engineer defenses, and deliver robust platforms that balance performance, security, and usability.
