Cybersecurity Enthusiast | Air Force Officer
With a background in leadership and process management, I am transitioning into the field of cybersecurity, bringing with me a wealth of experience in strategic operations, risk management, and team coordination. Over the past few years, I’ve progressed through roles at Cleveland-Cliffs and the United States Air Force, where I learned how to drive operational efficiency, foster innovation, and lead teams through complex challenges. These experiences have helped me develop valuable soft skills in leadership, problem-solving, and communication—skills that I’m now applying to the ever-evolving world of cybersecurity.
I’m deeply committed to continuous learning and improvement, always seeking out new opportunities to expand my knowledge and refine my skills. My training as a Cyber Effects Officer in the Air Force has further sharpened my ability to navigate strategic challenges, and I’m eager to apply this mindset to secure digital systems and contribute to organizational success.
Explore my home lab where I simulate real-world attack scenarios using tools like Kali Linux, Nessus, and Sumo Logic. I also deploy cloud-based infrastructure using AWS and automate tasks using Terraform.
View ProjectThis Terraform script automates the deployment of a comprehensive cybersecurity home lab in AWS, showcasing Infrastructure as Code (IaC), cloud security, and log management. It includes a web server, attack platform, Nessus vulnerability scanner, and centralized S3 logging, all configured for maximum security and scalability.
