If I had to describe myself in one word — Curious.

About

I’m drawn to understanding how things actually work - not just at the surface, but underneath. That curiosity has pulled me across cybersecurity, technology, economics, and business, always looking for how it all connects.

I’m working on a personal homelab to practice networking and test security concepts in real conditions. I study markets because they teach discipline and how people, incentives, and systems move together. I’m actively researching and building at the intersection of AI, security, and governance. I research, experiment, and absorb information extensively; not to collect it, but to develop an understanding I can actually apply.

Technical depth, business thinking, real-world judgment. That’s what I’m working toward.

Baseball, fishing, lifting, playing music across a few instruments, and a love for reading fills my days.
