I’ve been interested in computers since a very young age, and cybersecurity for a similarly long amount of time. I began seriously pursuing cybersecurity academically in roughly Junior year of high school, and pursuing it professionally once in college.
I’m studying Computer Science (B.S) at FSU but I’m involved with effectively everything cybersecurity-related on campus, primarily, the CTF team (nol3ptr), CyberNoles, the cyber outreach organization (CSCOO), and various academics/research opportunities.
I also enjoy hiking, biking, skiing, and most other things involving mountains (yes, I live in Florida, the irony is not lost on me). On rainy days I prefer to tinker or read. The former mostly being electronics or cars, and the latter being non-fiction history or whatever looks interesting on HackerNews (bonus mention of The Register).
This website is run on an old Lenovo ThinkServer TS140 that I got from a neighbor. It idles at ~15W (and peaks to no more than 30W in average operation) and sits in the cabinet of my old desk. I also keep a small isolated network with a spare Raspberry Pi running OpenWRT linked up to a very old Dell laptop that I use for testing remote configurations. Everything except my desktop computer runs GNU/Linux; most of my experience being with Manjaro, second to Debian/Ubuntu.
