About Me
My goal has always been to build technology that solves meaningful problems while remaining grounded in the needs of the community around me. One way I pursue this mission is through a startup project I am currently developing alongside a team of ten students. Together, we are designing fully autonomous drone systems and working toward transforming our prototype into a viable company, Argus Defense Systems.
Building a project from the ground up has required leadership, persistence, and the ability to bring together individuals with diverse skill sets around a shared objective. In just a few months, our team has progressed from a group of students with an idea to developing a functional prototype and actively refining the underlying technology.
“Building technology that solves meaningful problems while remaining grounded in the needs of the community.”
Professionally, I am an IT specialist with experience in managed services, networking, and cybersecurity. I hold industry certifications including CompTIA A+, Network+, Security+, and Cisco's CCNA. My background includes hands-on experience supporting and securing diverse IT environments across networking, systems administration, and security operations.
Working in a managed services provider (MSP) environment, I design and manage network infrastructure, implement cybersecurity solutions, and deploy modern platforms such as Cloudflare to enhance reliability and protection. I also have experience developing AI models, operating self-hosted infrastructure, and building secure, high-performance web services.
What I Do
Cybersecurity
SIEM, threat detection, vulnerability management, and security policy across enterprise environments.
Networking
LAN/WAN design, Cisco infrastructure, VPN configuration, and network segmentation.
Defense Tech
Leading development of autonomous drone systems for GPS- and communications-denied environments.
AI & Development
AI model training, web development with React/Next.js, and self-hosted infrastructure.
Community & Volunteering
I believe entrepreneurship should remain closely connected to service. Beyond our technical work, members of our team regularly organize community initiatives where we use our own resources to prepare and distribute meals to individuals experiencing homelessness. These efforts reflect my belief that building technology and building stronger communities should go hand in hand.
I have also contributed my time to several technology and community-focused events and organizations, including:
- ISC2 East Bay Chapter — Volunteer, Vendor & Event Support
- World Summit AI — Volunteer Staff (June 2025)
- Cal Hacks — Volunteer
Through these experiences, I have supported event coordination, vendor management, and logistics while engaging with professionals and students working at the forefront of technology and cybersecurity.
