About Me
Hello, world! I’m a cybersecurity professional with a strong electronics, electrical engineering, and industrial systems foundation. Before transitioning into cybersecurity, I spent nearly two decades as an electronics technician and controls specialist, working with gas chromatographs, mass spectrometers, and other critical industrial instrumentation.
My experience maintaining and troubleshooting these high-precision analytical devices gave me a deep understanding of industrial control systems (ICS), SCADA networks, and cyber-physical systems. Recognizing the increasing cyber threats targeting operational technology (OT), I pivoted my career to focus on securing critical infrastructure.
Now, with a master’s degree in SCADA cybersecurity and experience in cyber threat intelligence, incident response, and penetration testing, I specialize in protecting ICS/OT environments from cyber threats.
​
My Expertise
Throughout my career, I’ve worked with various cybersecurity tools, including Splunk, PhishER, VMRay, CrowdStrike Falcon, ExtraHop, and GreyMatter, to analyze threats, detect vulnerabilities, and respond to incidents. I also have experience with NIST frameworks, penetration testing using Nessus, Metasploit, and Nmap, and securing web applications with Burp Suite. I’ve participated in cyber defense competitions, where I applied defensive strategies in real-time attack scenarios.

What I’m Working on Now
-
Building Cornell Security, a cybersecurity blog and portfolio to share insights on cyber hygiene, SCADA security, and network auditing.
-
Developing Python scripts for cybersecurity automation, including network scanning and vulnerability detection.
-
Exploring AI’s role in cybersecurity to enhance threat detection and response strategies.
