About Me

I'm Riley, an Information Systems and IT Support professional based in Rancho Cucamonga, California. I have two years of experience supporting users, troubleshooting hardware and software, maintaining endpoints, and resolving account and connectivity issues.

I am completing my B.S. in Information Systems & Technology with a Cybersecurity concentration at California State University, San Bernardino, with an expected graduation date of December 2026. Through my coursework and hands-on labs, I have developed experience with Windows Server, Active Directory, networking, endpoint management, SIEM monitoring, and cybersecurity fundamentals.

Before pursuing a career in IT full-time, I founded and operated an online consulting business that served more than 600 clients and generated over $400,000 in revenue. Running my own business strengthened my communication, customer service, problem-solving, organization, and ability to work independently while managing long-term client relationships.

I am seeking opportunities in IT support, systems administration, infrastructure, or cybersecurity where I can continue learning, contribute to meaningful projects, and grow into increasingly technical roles.

Outside of technology, I enjoy traveling, chess, basketball, UFC, and gaming. I enjoy solving complex problems, continuously learning new technologies, and challenging myself both professionally and personally.
