About

The Journey

My career began at the intersection of engineering and medicine, where I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Engineering. This foundation taught me the critical importance of precision and systems thinking. However, as technology evolved, I recognized that the greatest challenge of our era lies in securing the data and systems that power our world.

This realization led me to pursue a Master’s in Software Engineering at NJIT and ultimately a Doctorate in Information Technology, specializing in Cybersecurity and Compliance. Today, I leverage this multidisciplinary background to protect digital infrastructures and, more importantly, to empower the next generation of tech leaders.
