About
An upbringing in the most developing technological period of our existence, it's no wonder that technology and devices have taken up so much of my attention. Ever since I was young I've shown a dramatically high interest in the software and hardware of computers, phones, devices, and games.
I spent many years studying music; in elementary-school, middle-school, high-school, and even in professionally in choruses and recording studios. I also spent many years building worlds and writing novels.
Though, time and time again I was drawn back to the innovative stylings of technology. I have graduated from Fordham University (Lincoln Center campus) with my Bachelors of Science in Computer Science and my Masters of Science in Cyber Security (Masters Thesis done). I have studied multiple programming languages, logic and mathematics, as well as many other areas of computer science and cyber security.
