About
Who I Am
High school student. Cybersecurity nerd. I like figuring out how things break.
Security
I compete in national CTFs and train through SANS. I study how attackers operate so I can build better defenses. That's the whole idea.
Community
I tutor students through UPchieve — math, CS, and test prep for low-income kids. I also make short films and video essays about justice and technology.
Law + Tech
I'm interested in cyber law and ethical hacking — the place where technical work actually hits policy and affects real people.
Virginia, USA
Student at Independence High School. Coursework in cybersecurity, CS, and STEM. I compete with CyberPatriot, 3C Cyber Cup, and Lockheed Martin CTF teams.
