Background
About Me

I'm a Computer Science student at the University of Texas at San Antonio, specializing in the Cyber Operations track. My path into software engineering is grounded in real-world operational experience — as a U.S. Army National Guard Intelligence Systems Maintainer, I've developed a rigorous, mission-first mindset and earned an active TS/SCI clearance.

I've interned as a Software Development Engineer at Amazon, where I gained hands-on experience building production software at scale. My coursework spans systems programming, networking, reverse malware engineering, and secure software development — disciplines that align directly with the demands of defense technology.

I'm driven by the intersection of software engineering and national security. I build applications that emphasize reliability, security, and performance — from full-stack web platforms to low-level systems tools. I'm looking for opportunities where engineering excellence directly supports the mission.
