Highly disciplined and detail-oriented professional with 11 years of experience as an Instrumentation and Flight Controls Avionics Specialist in the USAF, transitioning into a career in cybersecurity with a passion for safeguarding digital assets. I recently graduated with a Bachelor’s in Cyber Operations, maintaining a strong academic record throughout my studies. I seek opportunities to leverage my military discipline and strategic mindset in a cybersecurity role, contributing my small piece to improving the world.

My transition from military service aligns with my core value of family. After experiencing the demands of military life and observing its impact on service members’ families, I deliberately chose to build a career that allows me to be present for my children while contributing to meaningful work. Just as I’m passionate about protecting digital assets, I’m equally committed to safeguarding my family’s privacy in our increasingly connected world so that you won’t find personal details or photos of them here (if you apply some basic OSINT, you’ll probably find a pic or two). The discipline and attention to detail I developed in the USAF now finds expression both in my studies and kitchen, where I’ve become an amateur sourdough baker. The patience required to nurture a starter, the precision needed for consistent results, and the continuous adjustments based on environmental factors mirror many aspects of practical security work (I’m only slightly exaggerating lol). Both pursuits remind me that the most valuable systems, digital networks and family connections, require ongoing care and vigilance to thrive.

“Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.”
