ABOUT ME
Ever since I was little, I've been interested in technology. From playing video games to having a curiosity of how games and computers work, the interest I had only grew. The mix of entertainment and curiosity led me to study Computer Science and Engineering in the University of Puerto Rico, Mayaguez Campus where I proudly challenge myself with classes, extra curricular projects and research. Thinking of the challenges the future holds for me excites me and keeps me motivated!

CYBER SECURITY RESEARCH
This research takes place in the University of Puerto Rico Mayagüez Campus. In this research I'm familiarizing myself with network terms and cyber security terms, Linux system and Artificial Intelligence. The main goal of the research is to implement an Adaptive Network Anomaly Detection System. Besides the main goal of the research, every year three members go to Heenac, a conference, and participate in a cyber security research.
