For Frontend Web Development I can:
For anything else I work with a variety of languages and am pretty much willing to work on whatever coding you want including programs written in:
I am a well-rounded professional with over 10 years of experience in cybersecurity for the federal government, spanning roles in auditing, penetration testing, system administration, project management, and liaison work. Having earned my CISSP in 2017, I bring both technical expertise and leadership potential, with a long-term goal of transitioning into a Chief Security Officer (CSO) or Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) role. My career began with programming in C++ at age 11, and since then, technology has been both a profession and a passion ranging from personal homelab projects, serving as ACM webmaster in college, leading development teams, to freelancing when needed. This breadth of experience across software engineering, IT systems, and security has given me a “jack of all trades, master of none, but often better than master of one” mindset, enabling me to quickly adapt and excel in any challenge.
Beyond the technical, I am an extrovert who thrives on working with people. My career has taken me across the U.S., collaborating with diverse groups and discovering a passion for customer interaction, relationship building, and leadership. I am highly competitive, self-motivated, and eager to contribute to an organization where performance and results are recognized and rewarded. Whether stepping into a CSO/CISO track, leading high-impact security initiatives, or leveraging my people skills in sales and client engagement, I bring a unique mix of technical depth, leadership ability, and interpersonal drive to help grow and protect any business I serve.

The first spark of my lifelong obsession with technology came not in a classroom, but on a glowing TV screen with Mario and Zelda as my teachers. My earliest memories go back to sitting in front of the Nintendo Entertainment System at age three, completely mesmerized. A few years later came the Sega Genesis, and by the time I was seven or eight, I was already exploring our family's first home computer running MS-DOS. My dad even wrote me a little batch script so all I had to do was type “go ninja” in the console to launch a game. It felt like magic to me.
Not long after, Windows 3.1 opened up a whole new world of DOS classics like California Games, Commander Keen, and King's Quest. Around age ten (this was 1996), I was already tinkering with HTML on Angelfire, building my first websites. Around that same time, I knew I wanted to follow in my dad's footsteps and work in technology. I'll never forget getting a Nintendo 64 for Christmas and seeing 3D graphics for the very first time. These were all major milestones in technological progress.
By 1998, I was hooked on Starcraft I and Diablo, while also spending summer nights at camp learning C++ and experimenting with Napster. I would literally watch a pirated copy of The Matrix while writing programs and learning how to code. In high school, I built up my own gaming PC, salvaged another from a junkyard to run Red Hat 9 (back when you could buy it at Best Buy), and even got my hands on a Cobalt RaQ 4 webserver my dad brought home. At 14, I was already hosting websites from my bedroom, redirecting traffic through our Linksys router. This was also when I started my journey into Java with the book “Java Black Book”. I also joined my high school robotics team, writing code for our robot and setting up the lab's computers and network so my teammates could do CAD and other work.
Knowing there was a national scholarship program for computer security, I made it my goal to attend a university with that program. I earned the scholarship and studied at Mississippi State University, where I completed both my bachelor's and master's degrees in Computer Science. During those years, I built my first and second PCs from scratch, competed in hacking competitions, and spent countless hours learning in the Forensics Training Center lab alongside graduate students. I also became close with the school's network admins, joined our Linux User Group (BullyLUG), the ACM chapter, and even picked up a HAM radio license thanks to some friends.
Outside of academics, I poured an absurd amount of time into gaming, at one point even playing League of Legends professionally. Over the years, my online life has spanned everything from AOL and IRC chatrooms to IMVU, Second Life, and now VRChat and Discord. I custom-built my third PC back when Fortnite was exploding in popularity, and I still use it today. At this point I'm getting ready to build my fourth generation of PC. I've also spent thousands of hours creating VRChat avatars in Blender and Unity, giving me hands-on 3D graphics experience.
Looking back, two of my custom-built machines lasted more than eight years each while running every game at 60fps (a testament to the quality and care I put into building and maintaining them). For me, technology has never been “just a hobby” or “just a job.” It's been a lifelong passion, woven into nearly every stage of my life. If you work with me, you're working with someone who doesn't just do tech for a paycheck. I live and breathe it. So please consider scheduling a free consultation with me!
