Hi there, I'm

|

CS & Cybersecurity student at Rider University. I build things, break things, and learn from both.

About Me

I'm a Black and Italian college student at Rider University, majoring in Computer Science with a minor in Cybersecurity. My passion for technology and IT drives me to constantly explore new tools and systems.

I thrive on solving complex problems — whether it's debugging code, optimizing network performance, or designing secure digital environments. I have hands-on experience maintaining and administering servers across Linux distributions including Arch, Debian, and Fedora.

Beyond the classroom, I love tinkering with servers and networks, setting up virtual labs, and experimenting with open-source technologies. I'm proficient across Windows, macOS, and Linux — adaptable in any IT environment.
