Cyber Operations student and software developer with 7+ years of hands-on HVAC/R experience in a family-owned Arizona business. I bring the same discipline, troubleshooting mindset, and attention to detail to both code and mechanical systems.
I'm a Cyber Operations student at the University of Arizona with a genuine interest in offensive security and network defense. My path into technology started with curiosity about how video games are built, which grew into a passion for programming and problem solving.
At the same time, I've spent the last 7+ years working alongside my dad in our family-owned Refrigeration & Air Conditioning business, which has served Arizona for more than 40 years. That hands-on trade experience taught me electrical and mechanical fundamentals, building codes and regulations, team coordination, customer service, and how to run a business — lessons that carry directly into how I approach software and security work.
I'm a dedicated, hard-working person who takes pride in doing things right the first time, whether that's securing a network or servicing a system in the Arizona heat.
