Computer Science Student and IT Professional
Diving into cybersecurity through hands-on projects, tools, and self-study.
An internship is my next milestone.
About Me
I'm a junior Computer Science student at the University of Houston, concentrating on Cybersecurity. For nearly two years, I've worked part-time as a PC Technician at Lone Star College. Right now, I'm building networking and cloud fundamentals through CompTIA Network+ and AWS Cloud Practitioner prep. My recent work includes a Python port scanner and an in-progress honeypot using AWS. My next milestone is a cybersecurity internship for Summer 2027 where I can continue this momentum.
