About Me

I grew up in Long Island, New York in a family of engineers. My education in technology brought me back to New York, and I began working in NYC as a QA Testing Consultant at Con Edison. While working there, I discovered that I love to learn new skills and understand new technologies. I also found a strong interest in working in compliance due to my natural skills and qualities.

One of the reasons I decided to get into Cyber Security is because of my ability to see things clearly and my understanding of how important clarity of communication is within an organization. I feel that in Cyber Security, there are always new challenges popping up with new people and situations. Additionally, cyber attacks against companies have been prevalent, and I would like to participate in working against cyber threats.

After working for two years, I decided to go back to school to get my Masters. I started my masters program in the fall of 2021, studying Cyber Security at CCNY in NYC.

I recently graduated from City College of New York with a MS in Cyber Security and am looking for opportunities

Projects

Furbo Camera Hack

Hacked into my Furbo camera and gained root access
In this project, I used Burp Suite to find an exploit in my Furbo pet camera and was able to use code injection to successfully gain root access to the device. This allowed me to execute commands from my terminal to view the live stream and perform functions like tossing a dog treat.

On the left, you can see a terminal running shell commands as a root user, and on the right, you can see the hacked live stream from the camera.

OpenAI Steganography

Used OpenAi's DALL-E API to generate images for steganography encoding/decoding
I Built a python app using Flask to allow a user to enter a prompt to generate an image using DALL-E's API, or upload their own image and enter a secret message. The secret message will then be encoded into the image using LSB steganography and will be displayed next to the original image to ensure it is not discernable. Also has functionality for decoding a steganographic message with options for Caesar and Vigenere Cipher

Platformer Game

A short 2D platformer video game written in Java about the style of leadership I take when I am in a team-oriented work enviorment.
This opportunity was given to me by my LEAD-100 professor who encouraged us to be different and submit something other than the standard essay for our final paper. My choice was to write a game because learning new techniques and developing my skills is what I enjoy most.
