IT Networking Professional with over a decade of hands-on experience, currently specializing in network infrastructure and transitioning to cybersecurity. Based in Houston, Texas.
I'm a passionate IT professional with over 10 years of comprehensive experience spanning hardware, systems administration, helpdesk support, and network infrastructure.
My journey in IT began building custom computers in a manufacturing environment, which gave me deep hardware knowledge. I progressed through roles as a systems administrator for a construction company, helpdesk technician, and desktop support specialist before finding my passion in networking.
For the past year, I've been working as a Networking Technician, where I've developed strong skills in network infrastructure, troubleshooting, security implementation, and network automation. I'm now actively transitioning into cybersecurity, combining my networking expertise with security best practices.
I maintain an extensive homelab environment where I continuously experiment with new technologies, practice security hardening, and develop automation scripts. This hands-on approach allows me to stay current with industry trends and develop practical skills that translate directly to production environments.
Formal education, focused cybersecurity training, and the certification path supporting my work in network automation and secure operations.
