Cooper

Someone who loves computers, drones, 3D printing, security, decentralization, privacy, and the outdoors. Based in the US, I specialize in fun, with a particular love for the intersection of engineering rigor and considered design.

I’m a new professional breaking out into the industry. I specialize in the implementation of cyber security practices and more than that, being able to explain them to those who aren’t as tech savvy. Throughout my life I have always been a hustler, taking side jobs, working for tips, and always trying to get ahead. After college, nothing's changed. I started Cooper Designs with my childhood friend Alec Wright, an architect who understands not only physical but also graphic design. This business was my creative outlet originally intended for my close friends and family members. Now this business is growing faster than expected, with new clients coming every week.

My other interests go beyond web design and cross into UAS / UAV and other autonomous vehicles. Being the son of a US Marine fighter pilot I have grown up around this planet's most advanced machines. Being able to crawl around F-18s, F-16s, and F-35s has always shown me just how powerful technology can be. Growing up with these experiences I have always been interested in defense technology and now I have started to prototype my own UAV / UAS systems. While these systems are now for personal use, I plan on eventually breaking into the Defense sector.

My time at Baylor has not only guided me closer to my connection with God but also given me the tools I need to succeed in this life. Through my degree in Management Information Systems (M.I.S) I have been able to not just learn about these machines but gain hands-on experience. Two professors stood out during my time at Baylor, Professor Bhojwani and Dr. Torres. Professor Bhojwani taught my SQL, and AI implementation class which gave me a deep understanding of very complicated topics. These classes also opened my eyes to the beautiful intricacies of technology and how to bend AI to my desired will. Through projects using LangChain, Django, n8n, and other generative LLM tools I was able to create the projects listed here in the portfolio. My time with Dr. Torres was short but well valued, he taught the Intro to Cyber Security class which started my love for security. Through these words he was able to explain very complex topics and gave us hands-on labs which I still use today when working on my homelab.

I'm currently based in Texas but work with teams in Arkansas, South Carolina, and Colorado. I'm always open to learning more about anything related to the topics mentioned above. If I'm not at work, I'm probably somewhere outside camping, backpacking, or overlanding.
