About

I architect secure systems and build production-ready applications—from encrypted task managers to healthcare platforms and enterprise networks.

From implementing zero-knowledge encryption (Luvero) to designing HIPAA-compliant network infrastructure (5+ isolated zones, dual-layer VPN, self-healing automation), I solve complex security and infrastructure challenges. My work spans cryptographic systems (Argon2id, X25519, AES-256-GCM), healthcare data platforms (HIPAA-compliant ERP, EMR integrations), enterprise networking (OpenVPN, IPsec, zone-based firewalls), and financial automation—combining deep technical expertise with practical operational experience.

With a B.A. in Computer Science and certifications as a Commercial Pilot and Flight Instructor (CFI/CFII), I bring a unique perspective to systems engineering—understanding safety-critical operations, complex regulations, and the importance of reliability under pressure.

Beyond aviation, I'm driven by exploration and connection. From traveling to over 30 countries to working at a hostel in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico at 20, I've learned to navigate unfamiliar environments and connect across cultures. As a certified Rescue Diver working toward my Divemaster certification, I continue to seek out new challenges, whether exploring underwater ecosystems or navigating unfamiliar cultures — the same curiosity and attention to detail that makes me a better pilot and engineer.
