I'm a recent Computer Science graduate from UTSA with a strong foundation in software engineering and a growing passion for cybersecurity. I’ve interned at two stealth startups, where I worked on backend APIs, deployment pipelines, and system performance. I’m currently preparing for the CompTIA Security+ certification to pivot into a security-focused IT or cyber role. I'm a self-starter who thrives on structured learning, hands-on labs, and building things that work in the real world.
