I'm a freshman Cybersecurity major at Rogers State University building toward a career in offensive security, penetration testing, and low-level security research.

I like understanding how systems work beneath the surface: Linux, networking, protocols, memory, binaries, and the software that connects all of it. Most of what I build starts with the same question: Can I understand this well enough to make it better, safer, or easier to use?

I am currently looking for cybersecurity, IT, software development, networking, and technical support internships or entry-level opportunities where I can keep learning while contributing useful work.

• 🎓 Freshman — Cybersecurity, Rogers State University
• 📚 4.0 college GPA
• 🏆 High school valedictorian, Class of 2026
• 🛡️ National Cyber League competitor with two semesters of competition experience
• 🤖 Lead programmer and driver for FIRST Robotics Competition Team 3179 (2023–2026)
• 🐧 Linux daily driver with hands-on experience administering and customizing Arch Linux systems
• 🔬 Especially interested in offensive security, binary exploitation, reverse engineering, networking, and systems programming
• 🧰 I learn best by building: scripts, CLI tools, networking projects, Linux environments, robotics software, and homelab infrastructure

Ghidra · Burp Suite · Hashcat · CTFs · System Hardening · Reverse Engineering · Binary Exploitation Fundamentals · OSINT

Linux · Arch Linux · systemd · Btrfs · SSH · WireGuard · UFW · TCP/IP · HTTP · DNS · Git

C · Java · Rust · Python · Bash

Neovim · tmux · Git/GitHub · Ghidra · Docker · OBS · ProPresenter

A reusable Java architecture developed from several years of FIRST Robotics Competition programming. Designed to provide a cleaner base for robot projects and reduce the amount of infrastructure teams need to rebuild each season.

Skills: Java, robotics, modular architecture, hardware/software integration, debugging, collaborative development

A safe, modern clone of the Unix cat command written in Rust. Built as a systems-programming project to learn Rust while recreating a familiar command-line utility.

Skills: Rust, CLI development, systems programming, Unix tooling

A lightweight C command-line utility for uploading files, folders, JSON, or text to a Discord webhook.

Skills: C, libcurl, HTTP, CLI design, file handling

A growing collection of shell scripts I use to automate repetitive tasks and improve my Linux workflow.

Skills: Bash, Linux automation, scripting, workflow design

Configuration repositories from my Linux environment. I use Linux as my primary operating system and maintain a terminal-focused workflow rather than treating Linux only as a lab environment.

Skills: Linux administration, shell configuration, Wayland, Neovim, Lua, troubleshooting

My cybersecurity education extends beyond coursework. I regularly work with Linux systems, CTF-style challenges, networking labs, and security tools to build practical understanding instead of only learning terminology.

Some areas I have worked with include:

• Reverse engineering and binary analysis with Ghidra
• Web security testing fundamentals with Burp Suite
• Password/hash analysis with Hashcat
• CTF challenges through platforms and competitions such as National Cyber League and picoCTF
• Linux system administration, troubleshooting, permissions, services, filesystems, firewalls, and networking
• VPN and home-network experimentation using WireGuard
• Low-level programming and protocol-focused projects in C and Rust
• Building and maintaining a personal homelab for networking, storage, DNS, media, and offline services

From 2023 through 2026, I was a programmer and driver for FIRST Robotics Competition Team 3179 and became one of the team's primary software contributors.

That experience taught me more than Java. I worked in an environment where code had to interact with real hardware, failures had immediate consequences, debugging time was limited, and software decisions affected an entire team. I gained experience with:

• Robot control software and hardware integration
• Sensor and subsystem architecture
• Debugging under competition deadlines
• Git-based team development
• Designing reusable code instead of one-off solutions
• Communicating technical problems with programmers and non-programmers

You can also see my contributions through the FRC 3179 GitHub organization.

My long-term focus is offensive cybersecurity, particularly penetration testing, red teaming, reverse engineering, and binary exploitation. Right now, I am building the broad foundation those roles require: networking, Linux, programming, system administration, security fundamentals, and lots of hands-on practice.

I am also continuing to build open-source tools that solve problems I run into myself. My goal is for this GitHub profile to document that progression through real projects rather than just a list of technologies I say I know.

I'm open to internships, entry-level technical roles, open-source collaboration, cybersecurity projects, and software projects.

If you're reviewing this profile for an opportunity, the repositories above are the best place to start. I'm always interested in work that gives me a difficult technical problem and the opportunity to learn enough to solve it.
