About

I'm an engineer and researcher specializing in Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, and Backend Engineering. I build intelligent systems that solve complex problems, from autonomous threat detection to automated penetration testing.

My open-source work primarily centers around building robust AI tools in Python that augment the capabilities of SOC analysts and security researchers. I believe in bridging the gap between cutting-edge LLMs and practical security applications.

AI · Security 2025

LLM-Augmented Threat Intelligence

Developing a framework for using large language models to parse, correlate, and prioritize CVE feeds and threat reports, delivering structured alerts to SOC teams in real time.

Automation · PenTest 2024

Autonomous Penetration Testing Pipeline

A Python-based pipeline that chains Nmap, Metasploit, and GPT-4 to autonomously enumerate, exploit, and report vulnerabilities in sandboxed environments — reducing manual effort by ~70%.

Backend · Distributed Systems 2024

High-Throughput Event Streaming Architecture

Designed a Kafka-backed microservice mesh capable of processing 2M+ events/sec with sub-10ms p99 latency, deployed on Kubernetes with auto-scaling policies.
