About

Professional summary

I am a Security Engineer focused on offensive security, open-source tooling, and security research.

I build production-grade security platforms and automation that help teams detect, assess, and reduce risk at scale. My work includes scanners, red team frameworks, and AI infrastructure auditing tools.

I have authored and maintained open-source projects such as Corvus, Kestrel, and llamascope-mcp, and I have published responsible disclosure research across MCP servers and AI infrastructure.

My background includes hands-on penetration testing, ICS/SCADA research, and practical red team operations, with experience across external and internal assessments.

I also work on automation systems that streamline operational workflows, including invoice processing, lead enrichment, reporting, and reconciliation.

I am seeking remote opportunities in Security Engineering, Security Research, or Offensive Security where I can continue building impactful tools and contributing to secure systems.
