About Me

I am a 25-year-old Cybersecurity student at Saint Peter's University (New Jersey), close to finishing my master's in March 2025. With expertise in offensive security and a passion for defending digital infrastructures, I specialize in penetration testing, malware analysis, and web application security.

Throughout my journey, I have conducted penetration testing assessments using tools like Metasploit, Nmap, and Wireshark, gaining experience in identifying vulnerabilities and securing networks. I have also delved into malware analysis, using tools such as Ghidra and IDA Pro to dissect and understand malicious code behaviors.

My focus has been on enhancing web application security by leveraging Web Application Firewalls (WAFs), configuring Splunk for security data analysis, and setting up Intrusion Detection/Prevention Systems (IDS/IPS) to protect applications from attacks. My passion for cybersecurity drives me to stay updated on the latest threats and develop strategies to mitigate risks effectively.

On this website, you will find an overview of my ongoing cybersecurity projects, ranging from research on ransomware threats to analysis of emerging technologies in the field. I aim to showcase my work and invite collaboration opportunities.
