I'm a Dallas-based Information Security Administrator at the Medical Review Institute of America, where I focus on log analysis, vulnerability identification, and protecting sensitive medical data.
Outside of work, I'm usually tinkering in my home lab, experimenting with Meshtastic and HAM radio, or diving into whatever rabbit hole catches my attention — I just love learning how things work.
I'm an InfoSec professional with hands-on experience in security monitoring, desktop support, and system administration. I enjoy working with tools like Microsoft 365, Active Directory, PowerShell, and endpoint protection platforms. I'm passionate about cybersecurity, process automation, and solving real-world technical problems with a calm, focused approach.
