About
Still early, and I don't pretend otherwise
I'm a sophomore studying cybersecurity at Penn State, with a minor in security and risk analysis. Most of what I actually know right now comes from CCSO workshops, coursework, and this site — the logging and detection system behind it is the biggest thing I've built so far.
I know Python, SQL, and enough networking to read a packet capture and explain what I'm looking at; I'm working on the rest. Outside of that: strength training, snowmobiling, and snowboarding.
