My Expertise

I am often told that I am a self-motivated, hardworking and passionate individual and apply this to any project (assigned or self-started) that I have in front of me. I love to learn new programming languages and are always finding innovative ways to develop and/or teach myself new skills.One of my favorite ways to accomplish the prevous goal, is through personal project like my personal server build. Other times I find myself building these skills at work, like at my summer internship at Choice Hotels. In this internship, was able to learn and further develop leadership skills along with, building old skills like coding, unix server support and setup, and server/website security. On the topic of security, I have a concentration in IA/Cybersecurity from ASU, but most of my skills in this area come from oustide the classroom. In two CTF Security Compitions I came in first and second respectively. Besides that I am a Custom PC Enthusiast and constantly keeping up to date with the newest technology and security news.

Tech

Well versed in various Linux/Unix, able to use apache and RHEL to build backend of a LAMP structure, passonate about computer and network security

Code

Advanced knowledge of C/C++,Java,Shell Scripting and proficient with python. For any other language, just give me two weeks to learn the language.

Tools

I have used and use git in both a personal enviroment and a enterprise enviroment. I have also used confluence as a wiki for a companies source code. I am also comfortable in an Agile enviroment and have work in it previously.

Apache2.4/TLS1.2 Upgrade

  • Apache
  • OpenSSL
  • Linux
  • Scripting

While working Choice Hotels International as a summer intern, among my many responsibilities, e.g. debugging defects in Java and automating tasks, I spearheaded the devlopment and creation of the scripts that would be used to upgrade apache 2.2 to 2.4. This was completed on time and faster than what was expected of my manager. Along with this my manager was extremely please at the quality of the code, docmentation and completion time. During this upgrade I was also able to upgrade the SSL/TLS certificate connection level, forcing all connections to use at minimun TLS1.1 and ideally TLS1.2.

Psyche Metorite Imaging Rig

  • Embedded Microprocessor Systems
  • Shell Scripting
  • Network Socket Programming
  • Image Processing

This project was my senior capstone project and to date coolest projects I have had a chance to work on. For this project my team partnered with Arizona State and NASA to prototype and build a metorite imaging rig.The point of the rig is to automate metorite anaylsis, in order to build a database of samples, that will be used eventually to compare with the asteroid Psyche. For this group I led the group that worked on intergrating the scanner with the ASUS Tinkerboard and allow for single push of a button to scan the metorite and send it to the anaylsis software to be anaylszed. See below for the link to the webiste.

Personal Server Build

  • Apache
  • Shell Scripting
  • Linux Server Administration
  • Network Hardening
  • Server Hardening
  • Basic Website Design

This is my pet project that I have been working on when money and time permit. The original goal was to make it a file server for myself, and secure with all the needed and recommend bells and wistles. The project now is evolving to eventually host this website, file server and my own personal email server. Along with that I have also decided to build in my own personal pentesting lab, to further advance and practice my skills. The server itself will be run off an ASUS Tinkerboard, sice it doesn't need to the resources required for commecial servers. There is a possiblity AWS will be intigrated into it eventually.
