// ABOUT ME

I'm a Cyber Warfare Officer in the North Carolina Army National Guard and an offensive security specialist with an active TS/SCI clearance. I combine military operational leadership with a technical foundation spanning artificial intelligence and cybersecurity.

I spend most of my free time in labs breaking things on purpose — penetration testing, threat emulation, and vulnerability research — so I can learn how to defend the systems that actually matter.

Off the keyboard, I'm a semi-professional obstacle course racer who has competed in multiple world championships.
