About Me

I'm a cybersecurity professional currently pursuing my Master's in Cybersecurity at Simon Fraser University while working as an IT Services Technician at TLC Solutions in Langley, BC.

My foundation is built on hands-on experience with SIEM systems, threat detection, endpoint hardening, and IT infrastructure management. I thrive at the intersection of technical depth and operational security.

Outside of work, I compete actively on Hack The Box and maintain a home lab running Proxmox with SIEM stacks for continuous learning and testing.

When I step away from the terminal, you'll find me building custom PCs, shooting analog film, or hiking. Great defenders need perspective beyond the screen.
