Education
Graduate cybersecurity training and a computer science foundation, spanning AI threat research, cryptography, systems programming, and hardware engineering.
Master of Cybersecurity
Ontario Tech University, Oshawa, Ontario, Canada
Core Coursework
Focus Areas
Graduate-level study in cybersecurity theory and applied practice. Coursework covered AI and machine learning for cybersecurity, offensive and defensive operations with Kali Linux, operating system security, modern cryptographic systems, enterprise IAM frameworks, and security policy & compliance. Prepared for leadership roles in securing critical infrastructure and enterprise environments.
Bachelor of Arts
University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
Core Coursework
Interdisciplinary Foundation
Broad undergraduate foundation spanning computer science fundamentals, hardware circuit design, interactive software development, and human-computer interaction through UI/UX design. That range means security work starts at the hardware layer and follows the system all the way up to the user interface.
