Introduction
About Me
I am a senior Information Systems & Analytics student at Rowan University with a 3.4 GPA. My interests are centered around cybersecurity, infrastructure, systems administration, data analytics, software development, and the use of technology to solve real-world business problems.
Alongside my education, I have gained hands-on professional experience through cybersecurity and technology roles at Subaru of America and Rowan University. These experiences have allowed me to work in professional IT and security environments while developing a stronger understanding of enterprise technology, cybersecurity operations, and information systems.
I am also the founder and operator of VNTheJeweler, an online jewelry business that has generated more than $165,000 in revenue. Operating the business has allowed me to combine my technical background with entrepreneurship, data analysis, financial planning, inventory management, automation, digital marketing, and e-commerce operations.
This portfolio documents the technical, business, and personal projects I have built as I continue developing my skills across cybersecurity, infrastructure, software development, analytics, and entrepreneurship.

Entrepreneurship
VNTheJeweler
Founder & Operator
I founded and operate VNTheJeweler, an online jewelry business that has generated more than $165,000 in revenue across e-commerce marketplaces and direct online sales.
Operating the business has required me to manage inventory, analyze sales trends, track financial performance, evaluate product pricing, manage customer relationships, coordinate order fulfillment, and make data-driven business decisions.
Business Systems & Analytics
To better manage the company, I developed a custom Microsoft Excel-based business management system that integrates several areas of business operations into a single solution.
- Inventory tracking and product-level stock management
- Sales and revenue tracking
- Monthly financial performance reporting
- Overall business financial analysis
- Inventory and sales trend analysis
- Business forecasting capabilities
- Operational data organization and reporting
Business Process Automation
In addition to developing internal analytics and inventory management systems, I have implemented Python-based automation solutions to improve operational efficiency and reduce repetitive manual tasks.
One of these solutions is an automated supplier inventory monitoring system that tracks product availability across multiple sizes and variants. The system detects inventory changes and delivers daily email notifications, helping identify supplier stock discrepancies before they result in unfulfillable customer orders.
By leveraging Python, web scraping, JSON data processing, and GitHub Actions, I developed a cloud-based workflow that operates independently of my local computer.

Projects
Software Development / Business Automation
Automated Supplier Inventory Monitoring System
Designed and deployed an automated Python-based inventory monitoring system for VNTheJeweler LLC to track supplier product availability and reduce the risk of overselling.
The system retrieves supplier inventory data, monitors individual product variants, and compares current stock levels against previously recorded inventory snapshots. Changes are automatically identified and delivered through daily email reports.
Integrated GitHub Actions to execute scheduled cloud-based workflows, eliminating the need for manual inventory checks or dedicated hosting infrastructure.
Cybersecurity / Networking / Infrastructure
Pi-hole DNS Filtering & Secure Remote Access
Deployed a containerized Pi-hole DNS filtering service on a Raspberry Pi 5 to provide centralized DNS management, advertisement blocking, and network-level filtering of unwanted domains.
Integrated the DNS filtering service with an existing WireGuard VPN infrastructure, enabling secure remote DNS resolution for multiple devices, including macOS and iOS clients.
Configured Docker networking, persistent storage, Linux firewall rules, and VPN client configurations. Validated functionality through DNS query monitoring, custom domain blocking tests, and WireGuard connectivity verification.
Networking / Cybersecurity
Raspberry Pi Secure Remote Access
Configured secure remote administration for a Raspberry Pi using SSH public-key authentication, hardened SSH configuration, network access controls, and secure remote connectivity.
Networking / VPN
WireGuard VPN
Deployed and configured a WireGuard VPN to securely access my Raspberry Pi from external networks. Configured VPN addressing, peer authentication, router port forwarding, and secure SSH access through the encrypted tunnel.
Security / Linux
Linux Firewall Hardening
Implemented UFW firewall rules on a Raspberry Pi to control inbound network traffic, restrict SSH access, protect exposed services, and apply a default-deny security model.
Web Development / Infrastructure
Self-Hosted Portfolio Website
Designed, developed, and self-hosted this personal portfolio website using HTML and CSS. Deployed the site on a Raspberry Pi to gain hands-on experience with web development, Linux administration, web hosting, networking, and infrastructure management.
Business Analytics
VNTheJeweler Business Management System
Developed a custom Excel-based business management system to centralize key operational and financial data for VNTheJeweler. The system integrates inventory tracking, sales data, monthly financial reporting, overall business performance, and forecasting capabilities.
