I work at the intersection of cybersecurity and law—where technical evidence shapes legal risk, and legal obligations shape security strategy.
I have always been curious about how things work—what connects them, what causes them to break, and how they can be made better. That curiosity naturally led me toward technology, where every system has a story and every detail can shape the outcome.
Over time, curiosity became a way of working. I learned to look for patterns, question assumptions, and trace problems back to their source before deciding what they mean or what should happen next. Whether I am investigating an incident, analyzing information, or building something of my own, I am most engaged when there is a problem to understand and a story beneath the surface to uncover.
That mindset has taken me beyond any one discipline. It shapes my work in cybersecurity and investigations, the projects I build, the subjects I write about, and the way I approach privacy and law. What connects them is a desire to understand not only what is happening, but why it matters, who it affects, and what should come next.

These projects turn cybersecurity, data, and governance concepts into working systems. Each build shows how I investigate risk, structure evidence, develop practical tools, and consider the privacy, ethical, and regulatory consequences of technology.
Voyage & Virtue: Honeypot-Canary AWS Environment Simulation
Tech Stack Includes: AWS S3; HTML5 + CSS3; IAM (Identity and Access Management); Amazon GuardDuty; Amazon CloudWatch; Amazon EventBridge + SNS
Voyage & Virtue is a collaborative cybersecurity project that simulated a honeypot-canary detection environment in AWS. The team designed a static website hosted on Amazon S3, embedded with canary tokens to detect attacker activity. Cloud-native security tools — including GuardDuty, CloudWatch, and EventBridge with SNS — were integrated to monitor threats, trigger alerts, and automate responses. The project demonstrated practical skills in cloud security architecture, IAM configuration, and Blue Team/Red Team simulation, bridging academic concepts with real-world implementation.
Black Missing Persons Intelligence Database
Tech Stack Includes: Python 3; Splunk Enterprise (SPL); HTML5; CSS3; JavaScript; JSON; GeoJSON; CSV; Markdown; Vercel Deployment
A searchable public data platform documenting missing Black individuals across the United States. The project combines structured case records with interactive search, geographic visualization, and analytics to improve access to verified public information. Built with Splunk Enterprise for data ingestion, indexing, and dashboard creation, the platform is paired with a modern web application for browsing and filtering cases by location, age group, gender, and status. The project demonstrates data engineering, search analytics, dashboard development, and full-stack web development while emphasizing accessibility, transparency, and responsible use of publicly available information.
Cyber Threat Timeline
Tech Stack Includes: HTML5 + CSS3; JavaScript (D3.js)
An interactive, fully responsive web visualization of over three decades of major cybersecurity incidents — including data breaches, ransomware outbreaks, and zero-day exploits — from 1990 to 2025. Users can filter by year range, industry, and attack type, and explore detailed event descriptions via hover/tap tooltips. The project showcases front-end engineering, data visualization, and responsive UI design.
HashCrack-Pro
Tech Stack Includes: Python 3; hashlib; argparse; concurrent.futures; itertools; string
A Python-based command-line tool for exploring password hash security through multiple cracking techniques. It supports a wide range of hash types (MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512, PBKDF2), salted and iterated hashes, and offers dictionary, rule-based, and brute-force attacks. The project emphasizes performance with parallel CPU execution and efficient handling of large wordlists, serving as an educational tool for ethical security testing.
Black Excellence Archives
Tech Stack Includes: Next.js; React; TypeScript; Tailwind CSS; Framer Motion; Responsive UI Design; Component-Based Architecture; Vercel Deployment
A Netflix-inspired digital archive celebrating Black innovators, inventors, engineers, creators, and visionaries throughout history. The platform features a cinematic, responsive interface with curated profile collections, immersive category browsing, animated interactions, and visually rich presentation inspired by modern streaming platforms. Designed with a strong emphasis on storytelling, accessibility, and cultural preservation, the project demonstrates modern front-end engineering, component-driven architecture, responsive UI design, and interactive user experiences while blending education with contemporary web aesthetics.
