Security and embedded systems work with hands-on engineering range.
I am a Cal Poly Pomona graduate focused on cybersecurity, embedded systems, software engineering, communication systems, and control systems. My work combines defensive security fundamentals with low-level technical curiosity, giving me a strong foundation for SOC analysis, incident response workflows, embedded product development, and system-level troubleshooting.
My background includes the Google Cybersecurity Professional Certificate, CompTIA Security+ SY0-701, applied research experience through the STEM2 program and Cal Poly Pomona, and portfolio projects spanning Azure Sentinel logging, Python SIEM tooling, cryptography, autonomous vehicle tracking, processor benchmarking, and haptic virtual reality hardware. I am especially interested in roles where security, automation, and embedded engineering meet.
