I'm an IT and Cybersecurity student at Ranken Technical College in St. Louis, making a deliberate transition into tech. My journey started with a curiosity for how systems work — building my own PC, setting up home lab environments, and diving into networking fundamentals.
Today, I'm pursuing my AWS Cloud Practitioner, CCNA, and CompTIA Security+ certifications while gaining hands-on experience designing cloud infrastructure, configuring Cisco networks, and building automation pipelines with AI tools.
I bring the same discipline and work ethic from warehouse operations into everything I do in tech — showing up, solving problems, and getting things done.

In ProgressCapstone project for my AWS coursework at Ranken Technical College. Created a fictional IT consulting business scenario and designed a full cloud infrastructure around it, mapping real-world operational needs to AWS services including compute, storage, databases, serverless functions, content delivery, and DNS management.
Built an automated content pipeline using the OpenClaw AI agent framework. Configured multi-provider LLM setups with fallback strategies and cost optimization, deployed across macOS and Windows environments.
Completed a series of hands-on networking labs covering VLAN configuration, inter-VLAN routing, subnetting, SSH setup, and router/switch security. Applied OSI model concepts to real-world network scenarios.
Researched, sourced, and assembled a custom PC from individual components. Extended into a home lab environment for testing network configurations, running local AI models with Ollama, and exploring server administration.
I'm looking for entry-level roles in IT, cloud computing, or cybersecurity in the St. Louis area. Whether you have an opportunity, a question, or just want to connect — I'd love to hear from you.
