I've been fascinated with computers and technology for as far back as I can remember. I built my first PC at thirteen, while I was a paid administrator on my high school's network, and I've continued to work various IT and SysAdmin roles ever since. As a self-taught Technologist with a passion for breaking things that’s rivaled only by my love for fixing them, I've become an IT Swiss-Army Knife in Human Form.

I've spent the past few years honing my skills in the InfoSec and Cybersecurity sphere, tackling lab challenges on platforms such as HackTheBox and TryHackMe.

Interests

Aside from being a developer, I enjoy exploring hidden gems of New York City, especially hole-in-the-wall restaurants and pop-up art installations. I'm a member of the Google Developers' and Android Developers' groups on MeetUp, and enjoy participating in coding workships and hack-a-thons.

When I'm home, I can regularly be found amongst my friends, defending Earth's Last City in Destiny 2. Many of us have been gaming together for several decades.
