About

I'm a penetration tester with a focus on offensive tool development, modern AV/EDR evasion techniques, and cloud exploitation. I build custom tools to help red teams stay under the radar and prove the value of offensive operations. Currently pursuing my Master’s in Cybersecurity at the SANS Technology Institute, I also hold CRTO, GIAC GPEN, GCIH, GSEC, GFACT, and TestOut Linux Pro certifications. I earned my B.S. in Cybersecurity from George Washington University in 2021. "Need procession injections techniques? I got 'em. Got process injection techniques? I want 'em." Check out my GitHub!
