About
Future Full-Time Endeavors
As I approach the culmination of my academic journey in May 2024, I am eagerly preparing to
transition into the professional realm. Seeking a full-time software engineering role, I am excited to bring my
diverse skill set, dedication, and passion to a dynamic team. Feel free to reach out to discuss potential
opportunities and collaborations.
Background
U.S. Army veteran with an associate's degree in computer science from Foothill College.
Currently in my senior year of a software engineering program at Arizona State University, I possess over a year
of internship experience in development. Driven by my interest in security, I pursued three security certificates
through a scholarship program during my undergraduate years, which subsequently led to my involvement in Synack
Red Team.

.NETHarnessing the capabilities of the .NET framework for versatile software development.
API developmentCrafting APIs to enable seamless integration and interaction between
applications.
Software RefactoringTransforming and optimizing existing codebases to improve maintainability
and performance.
Design Patterns and Documentation Implementing industry-standard design patterns and creating
comprehensive documentation.
Unit TestingEnsuring software reliability through systematic unit testing practices.
Agile MethodologiesEmbracing agile principles to drive iterative development and deliver value
to customers.
Work Experience
Softpoint
At Softpoint, I quickly engaged in Android development, tasked with modernizing their source
code by replacing deprecated libraries. This honed my skill in deciphering documentation for updated libraries and
adopting design patterns like MVVM for structured and maintainable apps. I gained practical experience in JSON
handling, network request troubleshooting, and other skills, showcasing rapid learning and growth.
Comtech
At Comtech, I joined a three-person team, collaborating on a fullstack .NET application with
a fellow intern and a full-time developer. My JavaScript proficiency was utilized in UI development, benefiting
from my previous work on the 'jackal-js' project, leading me to contribute significantly during JavaScript code
reviews. Alongside frontend work, I gained hands-on experience with C# and MSSQL in backend development. Deepening
my familiarity with the framework, I identified and resolved redundancy issues by proposing and implementing a
partial views strategy. This approach streamlined our user interfaces, preserving functionality while reducing
over a thousand lines of code, ultimately enhancing maintainability.
Cyberforce Q
Motivated by my security interests and a university opportunity, I pursued an SOC analyst
internship with Cyberforce Q. However, the role offered was a development position, leading me to become a junior
developer on the team. My primary responsibilities involved SOAR automation and API consumption. While on the job,
I acquired proficiency in Python, extensively using it for development tasks and HTTP requests.
Amazon Web Services
My AWS internship served as a culmination of my experiences. It allowed me to apply the
development skills acquired from previous internships and the software engineering practices learned at Arizona
State University. My role involved crafting debugging tools for the applied science team supporting essential AWS
Services like Network Access Analyzer and Reachability Assessments. I drove the development process using design
documents, UML diagrams, and agile methodologies, enhancing products based on customer feedback. I automated
builds and testing through Gradle and JUnit, while daily code reviews ensured quality. This experience provided
professional exposure to Java and Python software development.
Synack Red Team
An active participant in Synack Red Team, an exclusive bug bounty platform, I engage in
part-time work at my convenience, primarily for learning purposes. Following the completion of my GWAPT
certificate, I received an invitation to join. Leveraging my skills in Android and web application development, I
identify vulnerabilities and earn compensation. My dual background in development and security proves
advantageous, allowing me to recognize potential vulnerabilities through my developer's perspective and intimately
understand application structures as a security researcher.
