Commonwealth Cyber Cup Champion (2x)
Back-to-back champion of the statewide CTF hosted by Virginia Cyber Range. Worked closely with my team each year to create winning results.
About Me
I’m a 19 year old digital forensics intern focused on disciplined technical development and applied security problem-solving. I love to cook, read, hit the gym, and get out and around my community. Although I am currently withdrawn from Virginia Tech, I am pursuing my associates degree through Northern Virginia Community College, with intent to finish my bachelors at Virginia Tech.

AES Project
Manually teaching myself AES (Rijndael) so I can adapt it into a CTF problem, as I can't come up with any practical use cases for a modified AES. I truly am just intreseted in understanding it further, and I'll link my handmade version using the actual math below when completed.
Forensics foundations
Using a homelab to create networks of VM's that I can attack, defend against, and just explore to better understand the network security. I'll provide my GitHub Repo of notes.
Python Projects
I have a few projects in my GitHub repository, all just fun little games that show I know how to use different aspects of python.
Certifications
It's mentioned above, but I'm currently working on my AWS Cloud Practitioner and CompTIA CySA+.
