Securing the network.Aligning it with the business.
Network engineering and cybersecurity graduate (Purdue, May 2026), now in Purdue's Master of Business and Technology. On Purdue IT's network operations team since 2023, I troubleshoot outages, replace aging campus infrastructure, and build Python and Ansible tools that make repetitive work faster for the people who do it.
What I've worked on

Cybersecurity
Helped deploy Network Access Control on Purdue's campus network and automated NAC tasks with Python and Ansible. Earned CompTIA Security+ in 2022.
03
Business & Technology
In Computational Business Intelligence, part of Purdue's MBT in AI for Business Decisions, I'm learning to apply Python, machine learning, and LLMs to business decisions. For our final group project, we used AI to speed up the mergers-and-acquisitions work of buying a company.
