I have a proven ability to design secure systems, analyze cyber threats, and build scalable web and mobile solutions aligned with industry best practices. Whether it's architecting a fintech backend with fraud detection or performing live penetration tests on organizational infrastructure, I bring a security-first mindset to every project.

I hold a B.Sc in Cyber Security from Ritman University (GPA: 4.72) and have completed the Google Cybersecurity Professional Certificate, the CISCO Cybersecurity Analyst Career Path, and the 14G Cyber Security Scholarship Program. I'm currently a React Native Engineer at Ulospaces and Fullstack Engineer at Kosmotech Developers.
