Computer Science Student · UNC Charlotte B.S. & M.S. candidate focused on Cybersecurity | Blue Team | Cloud Infrastructure
I'm a junior at UNC Charlotte building practical skills in cybersecurity, networking, and cloud infrastructure. My work spans blue team operations, CTF competitions, hands-on lab environments, and self-directed systems projects.
A comprehensive cybersecurity risk register built to document, score, and track risks across key security domains using industry-standard GRC methodology.
- Covers 7 risk domains — Identity & Access, Endpoint Security, Vulnerability Management, Logging & Monitoring, Backup & Recovery, Cloud Security, and Third-Party Risk
- Risks documented using cause → event → business impact format, scored with a likelihood × impact matrix aligned to NIST CSF
- Includes control gap analysis, mitigation plans, ownership tracking, and an executive-ready dashboard
A fully offline, portable computing platform built on a Raspberry Pi 5. Designed for resilience and self-sufficiency.
- Runs Kiwix (offline Wikipedia, iFixit, medical references), TileServer GL (offline maps — NC, NY, CA), and Navidrome (self-hosted music server)
- All services containerized with Docker on a 5-inch LCD display
- Involved extensive ARM64 troubleshooting, Docker networking, and hardware configuration
Static resume deployed on AWS with production-grade CDN configuration.
- S3 for object storage; CloudFront for global HTTPS delivery across 450+ edge locations
- Configured Origin Access Control (OAC) to keep the bucket private while serving content publicly
Serverless AI agent that handles HR queries and leave requests automatically, 24/7.
- Bedrock Agent with RAG pipeline — HR documents stored in S3, indexed via OpenSearch Serverless for semantic search
- Lambda action groups process leave and benefits submissions, storing records in DynamoDB
Investigative CTF focused on digital forensics and OSINT.
Responsive front-end projects built with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
