About Me

My journey into cybersecurity started with a curiosity for technology - experimenting with phones, unlocking systems, and installing custom ROMs. What felt like a hobby at the time grew into a passion for understanding how systems work beneath the surface, and more importantly, how to make them stronger and more secure.

That curiosity led me to pursue a Master’s in Cybersecurity at the New York Institute of Technology, where I built a strong foundation in threat detection, incident response, and cloud security. Today, as an Information Security Analyst Intern at Kinaxis, I apply that same mindset - investigating alerts, analyzing phishing attempts, and improving cloud security posture with tools like Microsoft Sentinel, Purview, and Wiz. My goal is simple: to keep growing, keep learning, and keep making an impact in building a safer digital future.
