About

I'm a junior at George Mason University studying Information Technology with a cybersecurity minor, after an A.S. at Northern Virginia Community College. This summer I worked on CBP's Vulnerability Assessment Team through the DHS HS-POWER program, where the recurring question was which findings to fix first.

I'm focused on detection engineering, application security and vulnerability management, and on measuring whether security tooling does what it says. The projects here come out of that: a gate that tests detection rules against recorded attack telemetry, a taint analyzer that reports how it compares with a pattern linter, and an intake service that ranks findings by known exploitation.

I'm studying for the OSCP and the AWS Security Specialty so that the defensive work is informed by how the attacks run.

I'm looking for internships in security engineering, product and application security, detection engineering, vulnerability research, cloud security and offensive security. I'm a U.S. citizen. The quickest way to reach me is email; I'm also on LinkedIn and GitHub.
