CURRENT MISSION OBJECTIVE:

Building resilient, high-performance systems for the digital frontier. Specialized in cybersecurity, machine learning, and software engineering.

MISSION HISTORY

JUNE 2024 - PRESENT

RISK AND ADVISORY INTERN / CYBER ANALYST

DELOITTE // DALLAS/AUSTIN
  • Advanced a strategic IT overhaul for a $60B insurance client by applying cybersecurity principles to analyze cloud integration and develop new strategies for protecting PII.
  • Improved data security posture by using Varonis for in-depth statistical analysis of scans, reducing false positives, and implemented NetSkope policies to prevent data leakage.
  • Migrated a $30B medical client from ServiceNow to Onetrust for privacy assessment automation, ensuring data integrity and accuracy.
MAY 2023 - AUG 2023

SOFTWARE ENGINEERING INTERN

GENERAL MOTORS // AUSTIN
  • Accelerated the deployment of on-prem analytics projects by architecting a new CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions and YAML.
  • Streamlined the machine learning lifecycle by developing Python scripts for automation, allowing for one-click deployment of code and SQL files from Git to Databricks.
  • Increased team efficiency by authoring documentation for the backend workflow, standardizing the team's workflow.
JUN 2022 - AUG 2022

LABS INTERN

CODEDAY LABS // REMOTE
  • Engineered a complete NLP pipeline in Python to analyze sentiment from COVID-19 vaccine tweets, leveraging Pandas and NumPy.
  • Translated raw data into actionable insights by creating interactive visualizations with Plotly and Seaborn.
