A Cybersecurity student who thrives on understanding how things work.

About Me


At the University of South Carolina Aiken, I'm pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, concentrating in Cybersecurity. While attending, I’ve been an active member of the university's Capture the Flag (CTF) team, where I’ve tackled a wide range of cybersecurity challenges. You can find my write-ups for these challenges here. Notably, I've helped secure our team 3rd place in Carolina Con 2024. Through my experience in cybersecurity and CTF competitions, I’ve developed a deep interest in reverse engineering, binary analysis, and penetration testing. These avenues allow me to leverage my understanding of low-level programming languages to manipulate a program into unexpected behaviour.

Beyond competitions, I’ve also developed coding projects. While developing projects, I either focus on creating a project to expand my understanding of a certain tool/concept or to develop a practical solution to an existing problem. I program in a variety of different languages, but I like low-level languages that allow me to manage my own memory.
