I engineer security like it's a product — instrumented, opinionated, shipped.

From building mini-SOC labs with virtual machines to developing enterprise-grade vulnerability management platforms, I focus on turning raw security data into actionable intelligence. My experience spans offensive security testing, AI-powered threat detection, and automated compliance reporting.
