[●] FIELD EXPERIENCE OPERATIONS
Executed software engineering, research, and data intelligence missions across federal, national security, technology, and analytics environments. Deployed with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security through ORISE to support software development, distributed systems, observability, networking, and mission-focused technical operations. Conducted navigation research with the Virginia Tech National Security Institute and Systems Planning and Analysis on IMU drift, INS performance, Signals of Opportunity sensor fusion, and GNSS-degraded hypersonic flight scenarios. Completed additional operations in consumer sentiment analysis, Python development, exploratory data analysis, IT systems observation, and early-stage software project development.
[●] HACKATHON TEAM OPERATIONS
Led rapid-deployment software missions across multiple hackathon environments, building applications focused on public safety, food waste reduction, financial intelligence, and data-driven decision support. Developed projects including Safely, StreetSmart, WasteFree, MoneyMind, and EduScore, using tools such as Python, Flask, React Native Maps, Google Maps API, SQLite, Twilio, SMTP, OCR APIs, machine learning models, sentiment analysis, and web technologies. Operated in team-based build cycles to transform raw ideas into functional prototypes with real-world mission value.
[●] CERTIFICATION & HONORS RECORD
Maintained a record of academic distinction, technical certification, and cyber-focused recognition across multiple operational domains. Recognized as an ICCAE Scholar and Vanguard, National Cyber Scholar, CS|Source Scholarship recipient, and Virginia Tech Dean's List honoree across multiple semesters. Earned additional credentials in cloud, API systems, Python programming, IT fundamentals, 5G technologies, and cybersecurity through AWS, Postman, CompTIA, Qualcomm, CyberPatriot, and related certification programs.
[●] COMMUNITY OPERATIONS SUPPORT
Supported technical and academic communities through event execution, project evaluation, and student engagement operations. Served as a hackathon judge for HackViolet and VTHacks, assessing projects through standard rubrics, developer Q&A, and track-based evaluation criteria. Volunteered at the Virginia Tech Engineering Expo in Fall 2025, helping support event logistics and ensuring the event ran smoothly for participating students, employers, and attendees.
