About

I'm a security engineer based in Astoria, NYC, focused on offensive security and the emerging discipline of AI/LLM security. My background is hands-on: I build the tools I use, run my own infrastructure, and prefer learning something by breaking it.

My current focus is the intersection of penetration testing and AI security — both how AI is reshaping offensive tooling (multi-agent pentest frameworks, autonomous reconnaissance) and the new attack surface that LLM-integrated systems create.

Home lab

ThinkPad T14 (Kali Linux) for daily driver work, plus a desktop running AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D and an RTX 4080 (also Kali). I use the lab for tool development, CTF practice (currently working through OverTheWire Bandit), and testing the network scanner against varied target environments.
