IT Support | UCSC Undergraduate | Cybersecurity Enthusiast

"They say a 'jack of all trades' is a master of none, but they often forget the second half of that quote: 'oftentimes better than a master of one.'"

I am an assumed IT Executive with a focused emphasis on SOC.
I don’t sit in "cushy seats" waiting for tickets; I thrive in critical environments where tasks are complicated and the stakes are high.
While my journey through IT support, a Bachelor’s degree, and various certifications might look aimless to some, it is entirely by design.

What I bring to the table:

  • Deep Context I am a generalist by experience, but a cybersecurity specialist by choice. Knowing the "ins and outs" of the stack allows me to defend with more precision than any specialist who only sees the top layer.
  • Automation I kill redundancy with scripts. I don’t do repetitive; I do scalable.
  • AI Hybrid I believe the era of the "book-worm coder" is over. I embrace AI as a force multiplier, acting as a hybrid professional(part human intuition, part AI speed) to solve problems that lines of code alone can’t fix.

Every day is a deliberate step toward becoming a more lethal cybersecurity professional. I’m not just a wizkid; I’m a practitioner who learns "in the moment" and from the ground up.

I am currently seeking opportunities in IT Management, Network Engineering, or SOC Operations—roles that demand high-level initiative and will bring me one step closer to my goal of mastering the cybersecurity landscape.
