01 — Profile

The person
behind the keyboard

I'm a senior Information Systems student at UT Arlington with a sharp eye for how technology can solve real business problems — and the technical depth to actually build those solutions.

My dual focus on Information Systems and Business Analytics means I understand both the infrastructure that keeps systems running and the data intelligence that drives decisions. That combination makes me unusually effective in IT roles that sit at the intersection of operations and strategy.

In the lab, I've configured Linux servers from scratch, built Active Directory environments, simulated enterprise networks, and deployed cloud resources on AWS and Azure. Outside the lab, I've applied those skills helping classmates and peers troubleshoot real technical problems — developing the communication instincts that separate great IT professionals from good ones.

"My goal isn't just to learn IT — it's to become the kind of professional who makes every system and every team around them run better."

I'm graduating in May 2027 and actively seeking internship opportunities where I can contribute meaningfully while learning from experienced mentors in a real enterprise environment.
