Welcome to my portfolio. Here you’ll find a selection of my work. Explore my projects to learn more about what I do.
In 2023 I graduated from National University with my first PhD in Technology Innovation Management (TIM) concentrating in cybersecurity. I published a dissertation titled "Post-Quantum Cryptography: Constructive Research in Quantum Simulations" which can be found here:
Post-Quantum Cryptography: Constructive Research in Quantum Simulations - ProQuest
I am currently going for a second PhD in Cybersecurity with a concentration in Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC). My current research focuses on human trafficking in cyberspace and my findings help further the efforts to combat these horrendous crimes.
I am a part-time professor at Ivy Tech for their School of IT & Engineering, where I have honed my ability to break down advanced cybersecurity concepts to share deeper understanding.
Finally, I am also an Executive Contributor for Brainz Magazine, where I recently published PQC-related articles. Throughout 2025, I plan to publish more articles with intricate details concerning PQC.
