I'm Nick, an aspiring security professional and recent graduate of computer engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. This website is my portfolio, a place where I can show others my projects and hobby work.

Over time, this website will grow and change. Right now there's not much going on here, but I would like to put my cool projects and hobby work here soon. Thanks for stopping by!

Who am I?

I am a recent computer engineering graduate from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Before that, I developed an interest for computer science and engineering in my studies at Augustana College, where I studied engineering physics before transferring to Illinois. Over the next couple of years, I took courses in algorithms and computer architecture and developed an interest in cybersecurity. A significant portion of my interest comes from my involvement in SIGPwny, the UIUC cybersecurity student interest group, and SPR@I, the Security & Privacy research group at Illinois.

Outside of school, I enjoy designing websites; I was part of the Augustana Web Guild while I was I was studying at Augustana College and worked on plenty of websites for local clients. While I don't do as much website design work as I used to, I love bringing content, design, and usability together in one package. I began participating in CTFs once I joined SIGPwny, and I also dabble in photography every once in a while. Check out my Hello World article to see some of my favorite shots!
