Business Analytics - Network Security - AI / ML
I make messy data behave and turn complicated systems into clear, secure business decisions. Dattebayo!
I am an MS Business Analytics candidate at the University of North Texas with a 3.8 GPA and nearly three years of cloud and network security experience at Accenture. My work sits at the intersection of analytics, automation, AI, and secure business operations.
At Accenture, I worked with enterprise firewalls, VPNs, load balancers, IPS tools, and cloud security workflows. That experience taught me how complex systems operate in real business environments and pushed me to use data to explain problems, measure impact, and support better decisions.
I have built automation that reduced manual operations by 40% and developed projects in resume intelligence, market analysis, business strategy, and malicious URL detection. I focus on turning messy data and technical complexity into clear, secure, and practical business outcomes.
