About Me

Quick Summary

I'm a Cybersecurity + CS student at University of North Georgia, focused on backend development and security. Started coding at 6 with batch scripts, got into web development, then played football from 2nd grade through senior year where I was recruited by multiple colleges as a Defensive End. After football, I came back to programming. Now I'm building projects with Java and Spring Boot, learning to ship secure, performant systems. Currently learning: Backend security, distributed systems, and performance optimization

Playing football from 2nd grade through senior year taught me what it takes to commit to something hard. That focus carries over to how I approach engineering problems.
