About
Hey, I'm Eric 👋
I'm a cybersecurity professional and graduate student from White Plains, New York, currently based in Rochester where I attend the Rochester Institute of Technology. I graduated with my Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity in spring 2026 and am finishing my master's degree in the same field at RIT.
This site is my corner of the internet — a place to document what I'm working on, share things I find interesting, and show off projects I'm proud of. Whether it's a security writeup, a homelab experiment, or something I built just to see if I could, it'll end up here.
Work Experience
I have worked as a Security Operations Center Analyst at Security Risk Advisors (SRA), where I focused on Extended Detection and Response (XDR) and performed threat hunts across client environments. This experience have provided real hands-on exposure to what security looks like in practice — monitoring, investigating, and responding to threats at scale — and solidified my interest in both offensive and defensive security.
Education
Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT)
B.S. Cybersecurity — Graduated Spring 2026
M.S. Cybersecurity — Expected Fall 2026
RIT's cybersecurity program has provided me a strong foundation across a wide range of topics including network security, digital forensics, penetration testing, and security operations. With a hands-on, lab-heavy curriculum, I spent as much time breaking and building things as I did reading about them — which is exactly the kind of learning that sticks.
The Homelab
I'm in the early stages of building out a personal homelab — my own little infrastructure at home for learning, experimenting, and building things outside the constraints of a classroom or work environment. I'll be documenting everything here as I go, from the initial hardware decisions to whatever I end up breaking and fixing along the way.
If you've ever wanted to follow along with someone building a homelab from scratch, this is the place.
Outside of Tech
I'm a lifelong sports fan — you'll find me watching the New York Yankees and the New York Rangers whenever they're on. Before spending most of my time in front of a screen, I competed as a varsity and collegiate hurdler, which taught me a lot about discipline, consistency, and what it takes to keep improving at something difficult.
When I'm not at a desk or watching a game, I enjoy hiking and cooking — two things that get me away from a screen and actually using my hands.
