About

Computer science student focused on cybersecurity and useful systems.

I’m pursuing a B.S. in Computer Science at the University of Connecticut with a concentration in cybersecurity. My experience spans IT support, engineering scripts, embedded interface work, applied AI research, technology workshops, and Python projects built for real users.

My wife Bella and I live in Northern Connecticut. Outside of technology, I enjoy playing music, reading, teaching, and staying involved in my community. I’ve hosted and produced a holiday telethon that raised $15,000 to fight muscular dystrophy, and I’ve taught history and philosophy online.
