Background, work, and competitions
I'm a high school student from Florida who has been programming since 2019. I'm mainly proficient in Python and also work with Java and Node.js. I'm especially interested in cybersecurity. I have a strong understanding of security and networking.
I'm looking for part-time and full-time roles and internships where I can help with software, cybersecurity, systems engineering, networking, automation, or technical support. I'm especially interested in mission-focused teams, secure software, internal tools, and real-world engineering work.
CyberPatriot is a national youth cyber defense competition where teams secure systems, harden networks, and solve real-world security problems in timed competition rounds.
I've been competing in CyberPatriot's Cisco networking category, configuring routers, switches, access control lists, and network security settings under timed competition conditions. That work has helped give me a stronger foundation in TCP/IP, segmentation, packet flow, troubleshooting, and security discipline.

Cisco networking scores only.
National Cyber League is a hands-on cybersecurity competition where students solve practical challenges that mirror real security work, from open-source intelligence and cryptography to web exploitation and forensic analysis.
I've been competing in NCL for the past three years, building experience across a wide range of cybersecurity challenges and improving each season through individual and team competitions.

- Secure Chat ApplicationFull-stack Node.js and Firebase messaging platform with secure sessions, CSRF protection, rate limiting, reCAPTCHA, real-time messaging, and structured audit logging.
- Planet TrackerPython and Flask backend for a real-time astronomy visualization app, including coordinate transforms, sky data, device-orientation handling, and scene-space positioning.
- Christmas Route OptimizerPython route-optimization system that used OSRM travel-time matrices and Google OR-Tools to generate a faster driving route for a local community lights event.
Started by building games and logic projects, learning how to break problems down before moving into text-based programming.
Built Leaf, a Java Swing text editor, a LAN chat system, and other desktop projects while learning object-oriented programming and application structure.
Now focused on backend APIs, secure web applications, automation tools, full-stack dashboards, and projects that connect software to real-world workflows.
If you have a part-time or full-time role or an internship where I could help with software, cybersecurity, systems engineering, automation, or networking, I'd love to talk.
