I competed in the DoD Cyber Sentinel Challenge hosted by Correlation One earlier today and managed to get sub-200 in a field of over 2,100 participants.

I just finished the “Building Security into AI” course from APISec University. It was supposed to help me feel more secure. Instead, I walked away feeling like every dataset, model, and API I’ve ever touched might be compromised. Which, honestly, is probably a healthy mindset.

Today I completed the OpenEDG Python Institute: Programming with Python Professional Certificate, and it gave me a great opportunity to reflect on my coding journey thus far.

This weekend, I competed in my second Capture the Flag event with the Hack Smarter team at NahamCon 2025, and we placed 92nd out of 1,721 teams!
