Hi, I'm Ocean! I am an incoming Junior at The Pennsylvania State University with a passion for offensive security, penetration testing, and helping build a safer digital world.

Long-term I want to pursue red team advisory and contribute to purple team work. I'm drawn to finding the cracks before the bad guys do — technical depth, creative exploitation, and building real-world resilience.

Off the screen I windsurf through summers in Turkey, rock climb, play guitar, watch rugby, and swim through the digital world through CTFs, HTB, and my home lab.
