A LITTLE ABOUT ME

About.

I’m a cybersecurity-focused Computer Science Co-op student at the University of Guelph. I’m especially interested in threat intelligence and building tools that help people understand and respond to security risks. My projects bring together cybersecurity, real-time computer vision, and web development. I enjoy turning technical ideas into practical tools, from threat intelligence analysis to everyday habit tracking.
