Defending networks.
Building infrastructure.
I'm an IT professional with a dual focus in cybersecurity analysis and network administration, grounded in six years of day-to-day enterprise support at Mission CISD; one of the largest school districts in South Texas.
That environment demands real compliance rigor (FERPA, TEA), fast triage under operational pressure, and the ability to communicate clearly across every level of an organization. I brought that discipline into my home lab, where I've built out vulnerability assessment environments, SIEM pipelines, and segmented network architectures from scratch.
That same rigor carries into my AI development work. I've shipped three full-stack apps end-to-end, from schema design through production deployment, using an AI-assisted workflow built on Claude Code, MCP orchestration, and structured planning. The apps run live on Vercel with Supabase backends, real users, and the same operational discipline I apply to network and security work.
I'm fluent in English and Spanish, based in South Texas, and available now for full-time or contract roles — open to remote. The transition from enterprise IT into AI and security engineering is done; this is the work I'm doing.
