A few of my endeavors.
Curious to see my work?
Packet Sniffing and IP Spoofing
The Packet Sniffing and IP Spoofing project is a network security initiative aimed at demonstrating the vulnerabilities within a network. Developed using Python and leveraging the Scapy library, the project enables an attacker to intercept ICMP packets and spoof IP addresses. Through packet sniffing, the scripts analyze network traffic, while the spoofed ICMP ping replies deceive all machines on the network, highlighting potential security risks.

Microchip PIC18F4620
PIC18F4620 is a microcontroller project that allows a user to set the time, create an alarm, and power a fan based on the temperature set by the user. The user makes these changes using an IR Remote Control communicating with the IR Recevier on the microcontroller. This project utilizes microcontroller fundamentals such as GPIOs, ADCs, Timers, and Interrupts. This project was developed in C and uses the MPLAB X IDE to compile and flash the code to the microcontroller.

A bit about me.
I am . . .
01
a student at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona
As a student at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, I've had the privilege to develop a strong foundation in key areas such as network infrastructure, network security, and application development. During my internship at Dine Brands Global, I applied this knowledge by leading the creation of network documentation for their multi-cloud environment. My role involved becoming acquainted with Aviatrix, AWS, OCI, GCP, and Azure to accurately identify any potential points of failure or any areas for improvement in their environment. This task required the practical application of the skills I acquired during my academic pursuits.
02
a network architect and automation enthusiast
Advancing through my undergraduate studies at Cal Poly Pomona, I've cultivated an enthusiasm for network architecture and automation. Through my hands-on experience completing Aviatrix training, I automated the deployment of AWS infrastructure using Aviatrix and Terraform. These experiences have furthered my understanding and passion for designing robust and secure network infrastructures at scale with speed and agility.
03
an excellent communicator
Clear and transparent communication is vital for the success of any organization. I believe in fostering open dialogue and constructive feedback to achieve positive outcomes. By prioritizing transparent communication, I build strong relationships with both my team and clients, facilitating collaboration and achieving shared goals effectively.
