Third-year Networking & IT Security student at Ontario Tech University, passionate about improving privacy, security, and safety across the internet for everyone.
I'm a third-year Networking and Information Technology Security student at Ontario Tech University, driven by a genuine desire to make the internet a safer place. Whether that means designing resilient enterprise networks, building tools that teach privacy best practices, or developing systems that protect individuals from emerging threats - I care deeply about the work I do.
I'm currently seeking an internship position where I can contribute meaningfully, learn from experienced professionals, and develop skills that directly serve people's security and privacy. I believe in sharing knowledge, building transparent tools, and earning trust through clean, reliable work.

Set up the AWS EC2 instance with security groups and SSH authentication. Integrated GitHub Actions and Secrets for secure deployment and automated application restarts. Documented the full pipeline and demonstrated automated deployment.
Designed and configured an enterprise network as part of a case study. Created detailed documentation with network diagrams. Configured IP addressing, VLANs, inter-VLAN routing, and STP.
