About

I currently work as a Software Engineer Intern at Seceon and am seeking full-time roles in Security Engineering, Application Security, Product Security, and Software Engineering. At GoTo, I built internal security tooling using Python and FastAPI, including a semantic-search system that reduced incident triage time by up to 75% and an AI-assisted vendor-risk scanner that reduced assessment time by 90%. I also worked on production incident response, Kubernetes troubleshooting, and CI/CD workflows. My earlier security work includes phishing and account-takeover analysis, email threat detection, digital forensics research, penetration-testing automation, and network anomaly detection using honeypots and machine learning.
