About

Computer Science student focused on systems programming, networking, and cybersecurity.

I’m a Computer Science student at URI and a Schilling Scholar in the Honors College. I’m mainly focused on systems programming, networking, and cybersecurity, and I like building projects that force me to understand how things actually work under the hood.

So far I’ve completed Harvard’s CS50, built projects in C and Python, and worked with the RI Air National Guard on a research project studying VR-based military training.

Right now I’m working on systems projects like a tiny computer emulator and a custom home-built agentic AI assistant. Long term, I want to work somewhere that sits at the intersection of security and real systems.
