Beyond the Terminal

In my personal time, you can find me on the trails with the UO Run Club, training with a CrossFit crew, or practicing at the Irish Stick/Kali dojo. I am a competitive runner, a travel hacker optimizing credit card ecosystems like Amex and Chase, and a future PADI-certified diver preparing for my next underwater adventure. Whether I am backpacking through the Wallowas, flying planes, or following SpaceX developments, my approach to security is the same as my approach to a marathon: it is a high-performance system that requires discipline, strategy, and an obsession with optimization.

This systems-driven mindset is my core differentiator; I don't just solve isolated problems, I build the frameworks that ensure every "run" is faster and more secure than the last.
