02 / PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND

Security testing
and engineering.

I have 7+ years of experience across penetration testing, security operations, and information security architecture. Based in the Hudson Valley, I assess web applications, APIs, networks, and servers, and work with teams on remediation. I have personally identified hundreds of vulnerabilities through professional penetration testing, including findings rated critical, high, and medium.

My work includes tooling for cloud subdomain takeover detection and API scanning, Splunk research into authentication misconfigurations, and mentoring in dynamic application security testing (DAST).

I also conduct independent vulnerability research and present on security and emerging technologies. My personal projects apply local AI models, computer vision, and robotics to practical software and hardware prototypes.
