About

I'm a Cybersecurity & Data Science student specializing in Digital Forensics and Incident Response. My work sits at the intersection of network engineering and security analysis — designing enterprise topologies, then inspecting the traffic that flows through them.

I've completed intensive hands-on training in network defense, working with FortiGate firewalls, VLAN segmentation, and packet analysis in Wireshark. Alongside security, I apply Python and data science to build classification models and extract signal from structured data.

I'm currently seeking a DFIR / Cybersecurity internship where I can apply analytical skills, Python scripting, and forensic fundamentals to protect organizational assets.
