About
Hey 👋🏽, thanks for stopping by! I'm a recent Computer Science graduate currently working at Cisco as a Site Reliability Engineer on the Cisco XDR team — Cisco’s threat detection and response platform. I enjoy diving into the operational side of engineering, where performance, reliability, and security all intersect. Outside of infrastructure, I stay curious about cloud architecture, observability, and the evolving threat landscape in cybersecurity. My current tech stack includes AWS, Terraform, Kubernetes, Python, Bash, and Datadog — and I’m always learning more. Keep scrolling to see what I’ve built, where I’ve worked, and what I can bring to your team.

Projects
I think it's important to challenge yourself to expand your skills and knowledge. I frequently take on side projects whenever I find a little extra time on my hands, take a look!
Vidun-coin
Custom cryptocurrency I made to learn how blockchain works and what the code for one looks like.
