background file

Academic provenance, coursework, and the complete log of internship deployments. Filed against the Wallace Corp registry. The throughline: every role below taught me how complex systems stay safe and observable, which is the groundwork for building experiences where that complexity stays invisible. Updated as new entries land.

cybersecurity intern

NCUS // columbus, oh

Provisioned, imaged, and deployed Windows endpoints across 4 facilities, managing devices from setup through retirement.
Designed, ran, terminated, and documented custom Ethernet drops to expand on site network infrastructure.
Hardened systems with baseline security configurations covering access control and firewall rules.
Prepared the organization for cyber insurance review by validating security controls and assembling the compliance evidence.
Got firsthand experience with what compliance work actually feels like in practice: closer to a long, careful conversation between auditors, controls, and reality than to a checklist.
