I'm a Junior Security Analyst at the UMass Boston SOC and a B.S. Information Technology student on the Systems Administration track, expected to graduate in 2028. Outside of class and the SOC, I build (and occasionally break) things in my homelab, and I'm currently working toward my Network+, Security+, and AWS Cloud certifications.
