Cybersecurity and Information Systems major with 4+ years of experience in IT — currently building hands-on skills in security operations and system administration, on top of a background solving real support and infrastructure problems.
A mix of coursework, research, and self-directed builds spanning cryptography, infrastructure, and security tooling.
A team research paper examining why RSA and ECC break down against quantum computers running Shor's Algorithm, and how lattice-based schemes like CRYSTALS-Kyber offer a practical, standardized path to quantum-resistant encryption.
A Python service that drives two SSD1306 OLED screens from a Raspberry Pi 5 through an I2C multiplexer. One shows live system stats: IP, CPU, temperature, memory, disk, and uptime. The other reads a Waveshare UPS 3S and shows charge, voltage, current, power, and runtime. It runs as a systemd service.
The Proper 4M is a portable Kali Linux cyberdeck built in a waterproof hard case. A Raspberry Pi 5 drives a 10.1-inch touchscreen in the lid, with a USB hub, a keyboard with touchpad, and a Waveshare 3S UPS for battery power. Two OLED screens show live Pi and battery stats from my OLED Stats Monitor.
A Dockerized MCP server that exposes 13 Kali Linux pentesting tools — including nmap, sqlmap, hydra, and msfconsole — as structured tool calls for AI clients like Claude Desktop. Commands run as direct argv calls with no shell, so arguments can't be chained into injection, and output is capped and timeout-boxed for safe, repeatable runs. Authorized use only.
A self-hosted SIEM stack monitoring home network traffic and endpoints for anomalies, log correlation, and alerting. Write-up and architecture diagram coming soon.

I built the Proper 4M as a self-contained Kali Linux machine that fits in a hard case. The Pi, battery, hub and keyboard sit in the bottom half, and a touchscreen is mounted in the lid. Two OLED displays show the Pi's system stats and the UPS battery status using my OLED Stats Monitor service.
Before committing to a layout, I got the Pi booting Kali Linux on the bench with an external monitor and the keyboard to confirm everything worked together.
The first prototype moved the parts into the case: the lid screen cutout, both OLED displays and the I2C multiplexer wired up next to the Pi.
The finished deck: lid-mounted touchscreen, Pi 5 with the USB hub and antenna, the UPS module, and the two OLED status screens in a black mounting plate above the keyboard.
