About

Bridging AI, Security, and Threat Intelligence | MS Cybersecurity – Drexel University | CompTIA Security+ Cybersecurity isn’t just a field—it’s a mindset. What started as a curiosity about how systems could be exploited has evolved into a mission to defend them. With a Master’s in Cybersecurity from Drexel University and hands-on experience in AI-driven threat detection, network security, and digital forensics, I specialize in identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities before they become exploits. What I Bring to the Table: ✔ Threat Detection & Incident Response – Reduced phishing success by 36% through security awareness training and incident simulations. ✔ AI & Cybersecurity Research – Researched CNN-based backdoor attacks on deep learning systems and validated AI-driven evasion tactics. ✔ Vulnerability Management – Identified and remediated high-risk SQLi/XSS vulnerabilities while securing 200+ endpoints in enterprise environments. ✔ Security Tools & Frameworks – Hands-on experience with Splunk, Metasploit, Burp Suite, Nessus, and AWS Security while implementing security controls based on MITRE ATT&CK, NIST, and GDPR. I’m passionate about bridging AI and cybersecurity to enhance threat intelligence and risk management. Currently, I’m pursuing AWS Security certification to further deepen my expertise in cloud security. I’m actively seeking entry-level roles in SOC Analysis, Threat Intelligence, Security Engineering, or Cloud Security. Let’s connect if you’re passionate about cybersecurity innovation, AI-driven defense strategies, or if you’re looking for someone who thinks like an attacker—but works for the defenders.
