About

I am a cybersecurity and risk professional with 3+ years of experience supporting security operations, access control, documentation standards, and technical risk analysis in complex environments.

My work includes AI security research, Active Directory administration, ethical hacking on open-source LLMs, compliance-aligned security practices, and automation for data extraction and analysis.

I also like building personal projects, experimenting with systems, and staying sharp through hands-on learning, especially where cybersecurity, AI, and infrastructure overlap.

Portfolio

Homemade projects and technical work that show how I approach security, analysis, and tooling.
