I’m a cybersecurity professional focused on penetration testing, currently working as a Systems Engineer and Cybersecurity Analyst in the Philadelphia area. I have over five years of hands-on IT experience, and my background in Philosophy from Temple University shapes how I approach security; analytically, methodically, and with an attacker’s mindset. I hold certifications including PNPT (Practical Network Penetration Tester), eJPT (Junior Penetration Tester), CompTIA Security+, Network+, and A+, and I’m currently working toward the OSCP and CPTS. My practical security work spans 100+ solved Hack The Box machines and 525+ completed TryHackMe rooms. Along the way I’ve gotten hands-on with every stage of an engagement, from reconnaissance and enumeration through web, network, and binary exploitation, privilege escalation, lateral movement, pivoting, and post-exploitation, across Linux, Windows, and Active Directory environments.
I’m driven by curiosity and continuous learning, and I’m especially interested in understanding how systems break so they can be better secured. My goal is to apply offensive security skills to identify real-world vulnerabilities and help organizations strengthen their defenses.
This site will serve as a living record of my work and growth in cybersecurity, sharing achievements, penetration testing write-ups, and occasional random thoughts I find fascinating.
